Movie Review: ‘Public Enemies’ — *** 1/2 (Delaware County Times)
“I rob banks,” John Dillinger would sometimes say by way of introduction. It was the simple truth. That was what he did. For the 13 months between the day he escaped from prison and the night he lay dying in an alley, he robbed banks. It was his lifetime. Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies” accepts that stark fact and refuses any temptation to soften it. Dillinger was not a nice man.
