Michael Mann has set a very particular trajectory. With "The Last of the Mohicans" (1992) began his wanderings, creating a film that even today has adherents. Then spent a time of introspection where he developed perhaps his best films from the hand of Al Pacino in "Heat" (1995) and "The Insider" (1999), to take one of the great American athletes to create their biopic in 2001. However, in 2004 proposed a new trend that developed with digital audiovisual treatment expertise with his film entitled "Collateral." After this, you hit the bump of his life to bring to the big screen's classic series "Miami Vice" which undoubtedly was a stain in his films, perhaps mesmerized by the vile and dirty money.

Now, once again an actor grabs idolotrado by producers because of the economic performance that entails - not detract from his tremendous acting chops - and make history John Dillinger, a character in American criminal history, which has been interpreted in film several times.

Through a markedly different picture to which we are accustomed to witness in a room, the plot develops slowly in the path of a tiresome script, which is not spin any more dynamic and effect change rhythm that simulates an alarm clock. Thus, the obvious becomes an attribute that pervades the work face to smother the viewer.

Unfortunately, the script is low-rate changes causing drowsiness free, which manages to defeat the big plus to have the tape - the seal that is letting Michael Mann in his current filmography - which is the image. With a digital texture, and against the freedom granted by this action, the director of sense pervades the film so that the viewer will internalize it and can see better the picture clean and decorated house it always pays worth appreciating. Although these aspects make the film a good deed, poor plot development causes the assembly to collapse despite having good elements that were reminiscent of other works.

For example, the position too stupid to lie to the police, is a common theme in movies because of the time. Recently " Changeling" proposed something similar but with a much more serious awakening the viewer with feelings of impotence brutal errors of human behavior, however, in "Public Enemies" and no clutter has limits and the police comes as a troop of patients, who follow a leader played by Bale who apparently has a single purpose: to be the game winner to capture the "evil" Dillinger.

Is this an attractive proposition? In my opinion it is not, and is very far from it. If not for the technical innovation that shows Michael Mann, the picture that displays or some other scenes are notable for their detail - plus the good performance of Depp and Cotillard of which we are used - the film would be forgotten. However, what does happen?

Rating: 5 / 7
