Depp and Bale in a summer period gangster flick directed by Michael Mann: seemed like a sure thing, huh? For whatever reason, though, Public Enemies didn’t seem to connect with audiences the way you would have expected. Sure, it suffered from some pacing problems and sported one of Christian Bale’s two sub-par performances of 2009, but Depp was amazing as notorious folk hero and gangster John Dillinger. And even bad Michael Mann is still better than most.
