Like the images themselves, this movie actually is beautiful but lacks just the little something which could have brought it to the rank of masterpiece. Using digital video cameras is truely a challenge at such of level of production, though ; then, "Public Enemies" is worth watching, and the lighting crew hence deserves congratulations such as those for "Barry Lyndon".
Goldenthal's music has something of a "Last of the Mohicans" but also lacks Trevor Jones' vitality.
The entire cast is great, Cotillard is completely bearable (unlike many of her appearances in movies...).
Maybe the subject of torture against criminals perpetrated by the FBI should be considered a good point for this movie, as Hollywood is always trying to keep up with the political trends of the USA...
Concerning the story itself, this movie is more about men being "publicly enemies" (the FBI agents against the bankrobbers) than about the search of public enemies. Although it shows a pursuit between the two biggest current Hollywood actors (Christian Bale and Johnny Depp), this movie cannot surpass the legendary and obsessive pursuit between Pacino and De Niro in "Heat", even if the latters weren't historical characters.
