So today I chose twelve o'clock at noon. At this time, people go to school, go to work, and there are very few people in the cinema. Half an hour in advance, choose the best location.
It's hard to say, I wasn't disappointed, I didn't expect much. But it also just didn't make me fall asleep at the level. That's all, I just saw the huge score of 8 points on IMDB ~ let me sweat.
To be honest, watching movies is usually tricked into by the trailer. For example, Nicolas Cage's "Knowing" is a really bad movie. And "Public Enemies" is just the super attraction of Johnny Depp and Kristin Bell. Thanks to the gossip around the world, Johnny Depp has become the most stylish man. Personally, I don't like Johnny Depp, I prefer Christian Bale.
When I saw the director of this movie, I was really disappointed. Because the director's work is "Miami Vice", and from the trailer, it seems that the style is consistent with "Miami Vice", using a lot of pictures with large depth of field, which looks more documentary style, which is a bit harsh. Home small DC style. The camera kept shaking. But these are not flaws, it's just that the damn plot is so bland.
Let me put it simply: Depp rescued a few accomplices from prison, and then ganged up on the crime, robbing banks in Chicago in a row. Then he met the heroine Cotillard (last year's Oscar winner). After being wanted by the country, he was forced to separate from the heroine. Then, because he ticked off with the heroine and said that he would take care of him for the rest of his life, he returned to Chicago with his girlfriend despite the danger. Reunited, and then was beaten to death in front of the theater.
This is generally the case, the details are different. Watching this film is like moving Batman "The Dark Knight" to Chicago in 1930. It is a pity that Depp is not so smart and strong, and Bell does not have many high-tech weapons. The whole story is just plain water. The only thing that struck me was how tragic and romantic it was at the end.
In terms of performance, the expressions of the two are as flat as Bai Kaishui. Depp wore small round sunglasses from beginning to end and pursed his lips. Really handsome and very personable, but that's about it. Bell was sullen from beginning to end, not laughing and scolding, the only difficult expression was that he looked at his incompetent colleague with anger and full of tears.
This is definitely the worst movie the two have performed in so many years.
Details:
The love between Depp and Cotillard is so steadfast. But the portrayal of their relationship in the film is so sparse and unconvincing. The painless bed scene didn't even take off the clothes. What kind of love can make Depp risk his life to return to Chicago and Cotillard to chase the old dream? Sorry not to explain.
John Dillinger, played by Depp, was driving through the city in a police car when he was arrested, and people were waving at Depp like a star, WHY? Depp is not a hero who robs the rich to help the poor, he is just a good robber who does not harm innocent people, so popular with the public? The film does not explain. Maybe Americans have watched too many movies, as long as there are legendary people, they may think it is cool, maybe I am civilized and can't understand the cultural thinking of the American people.
Bell's role is even more prosaic, based on the task of arresting Depp in the office and making his wise decisions. And nothing more than the woman who sent someone to watch Depp, and his stupid men let the woman slip away.
I only gave two stars, if not for the two superstars + Oscar queen. I will only give you one star. Because for such a strong publicity film, such a result is really unacceptable. It's like you put Tom Hanks + Tom Cruise in a movie like "Scream".
My review of this movie may be harsh, but this is what I really thought after watching it. I'm just curious as this director failed so badly last time on "Miami Vice", what gave the production company the courage to keep him as director of "Public Enemies"? Maybe he didn't shoot badly, but the editing was too bad.
Well, the soundtrack for this movie is still good.
I was wondering what it would be like if this movie was made by Martin Sikosas?
