Johnny depp public enemies hat9/14/2023 Dillinger himself went to the movies on the last night of his life (an event recreated here) at times, he seemed to be modelling himself on the dapper William Powell. Like Barry Levinson’s “Bugsy,” the picture happily exploits what movies can do to create a sinful nexus between criminality and elegance. Some of the dialogue is spoken sotto voce-in a darkened restaurant, say, or the back of a car, where suave hoods lean toward each other, exchanging confidences. Billie Holiday’s plaintive tones show up on the soundtrack, a touch of melancholy high civilization amid the mayhem. The high-definition digital images are crisply focussed, and much of the movie (in contrast to the usual shock-and-awe thunder of action films) is on the quiet side. As a piece of direction, “Public Enemies” is often breathtakingly fast, but it’s always lucid. He keeps the camera moving, and the editing (by Paul Rubell and Jeffrey Ford) reinforces the speed without jamming ragged fragments together in the manner of hack filmmaking. Men get their skulls bashed with gun butts, and get thrown out of cars, but, despite all the violence, the movie is aesthetically shaped and slightly distanced by the pictorial verve of gangland effrontery-the public aggression that Mann makes inseparable from high style. Throughout the movie, blazing tommy guns emit little spearheads of flame, just as in a comic book. The scowling men in long dark coats and hats, led by the fashion-plate bandit John Dillinger (Johnny Depp), march into a grand Midwestern bank with marble floors and brass railings, take over the place, throw the cash in bags, and make their getaway, jumping onto the sideboards of flat-topped black Fords-beautiful cars with curved grilles and rounded headlights that stand straight up from the cars’ bodies. Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies” is a ravishing dream of violent gangster life in the thirties-not a tough, funny, and, finally, tragic dream like “Bonnie and Clyde” but a flowing, velvety fantasia of the crime wave that mesmerized the nation early in the decade.
