Public Enemies

While J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup), an FBI agent Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale), and other G-men (Stephen Lang, et al.) desperately try to capture infamous, charismatic, smart, prolific, gutsy, and slippery bank robber John Dillinger (Johnny Depp) and his loyal cronies, including Pretty Boy Floyd (Channing Tatum), Baby Face Nelson (Stephen Graham), Alvin Karpis (Giovanni Ribisi), and Homer Van Meter (Stephen Dorff), in 1933 in this intense, action-packed, factually inspired, bullet-riddled, cameo-filled (Alec Baldwin, Lili Taylor, Shawn Hatosy, Leelee Sobieski, Emilie de Ravin, James Russo, Rory Cochrane, David Wenham, et al.) film, the smitten thief tries to protect and reunite with his hat check girlfriend Billie Frechette (Marion Cotillard) despite being in the slammer.
