![]() Watching "Public Enemies"
In real life, gangsters are nasty, vicious and generally lacking in human values.
But in the movies, they always seem cool, not least because they’re portrayed by really cool actors such as James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart. You can’t help but like these guys, most of the time, and they’re usually a lot more fun to root for than the bland G-men on their trail.
This gangster coolness reaches its pinnacle in the new film “Public Enemies,” because the bank robber John Dillinger is played by one of the coolest actors alive: Johnny Depp. And since the FBI agent charged with bringing an end to Dillinger’s reign of terror is played by Christian “So Intense It’s Tiresome” Bale, it’s pretty easy to cheer for Depp who, when he isn’t killing people or beating them up, is as charismatic and charming as he’s ever been on screen.
