Public Enemies

For a movie that is so incredibly long (two and a half hours), I came out of the theater more aware of what I had not seen than what I had.

( Public Enemies )

The movie is beautifully shot and beautifully acted. Lots of period detail. And it seems dedicated to showing Johnny Depp in iconic mobster poses (most of which are in the trailer). But for all of that, it has no narrative underpinnings. This movie is made up of bits of John Dillinger's life, but it's not really about anything.
