Bank Robbery Professional Guide

It's a gangster saga about the short and fraught life of famed bank robber John Dillinger (Johnny Depp).
The film begins with a ferocious armed prison escape, and then continues to rob banks. In the 1830s in the United States, which was swept by the economic crisis, many people lived in embarrassment, and bank robberies occurred one after another across the United States. The hero of the film is one of the best. Leading a few brothers to sweep the banks in the Midwest of the United States, he is famous for robbing banks in broad daylight, and after robbing one, he went out and continued to rob the other opposite, completely ignoring the existence of the police , and the police clashed violently in the street. As the actions of this group of people became more and more arrogant, John Dillinger himself was promoted to the No. 1 public enemy wanted by the US government. And for the newly appointed FBI Director Hoover (Billy Crudup), the arrest of John Dillinger is of great significance, so he listed this case as a top priority, and established the Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale)-based task force.
The ancients of our country have a saying that is very good, it is called - the extreme will reverse. Not only were these arrogant guys not intimidated by the government's wanted, but they even intensified their robbery of banks and launched more intense gun battles with the police on the streets. But every time John Dillinger can miraculously escape the pursuit of the police, after finally arresting this kid and bringing him to justice, he successfully escaped with the help of his accomplices. In order to avoid being wanted, he chose plastic surgery, which was very effective in those days when there was no DNA test. The confident John Dillinger openly lives in downtown Chicago after plastic surgery, and even hooks up with a beautiful young woman who has just divorced Billie Frequet (Marion Cotillard). However, the bad luck has only just begun...
The ending of the film is actually known to many people.
Johnny Depp is really suitable for such a fierce role. I always think that he looks a bit fierce, and it is absolutely easy to play such a desperado. And director Michael Mann is also very good at knowing this type of film, and the addition of Christian Bale makes the film a leader in similar films.

Public Enemies quotes

  • [Purvis and Baum are listening in on a wiretapped call]

    Agent Carter Baum: This is a phone conversation from a car dealership twenty-seven minutes ago. Harry Berman.

    [He pushes down the needle to play back an acetate disk]

    John Dillinger's voice: When you drop it, leave the keys on the floorboard.

    Harry Berman's voice: I got a DeSoto.

    John Dillinger's voice: Okay.

    [Purvis takes off his headphones]

    Melvin Purvis: How did we get to Berman?

    Agent Carter Baum: Off the Dillinger coat. The coat was bought in Cicero, Illinois, a few doors down from Berman's dealership. Now we know Berman. He's been supplying cars to the Syndicate since Capone. When Dillinger bought that coat, he must've been at Berman's switching cars.

    Melvin Purvis: Soon as they call to drop the DeSoto, we'll tail it. I want men on this, around the clock.

  • [Hoover is at a Senate Appropriation Committee hearing]

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: Why do we need this?

    J. Edgar Hoover: Because criminals flee in fast automobiles across state lines, thereby defeating local jurisdiction because there is no federal police force to stop them.

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: By my tally, your bureau wants to spend more taxpayer's dollars catching crooks, than what the crooks you catch stole in the first place.

    J. Edgar Hoover: Well that's ridiculous. The Bureau has apprehended kidnappers and bank robbers who have stolen up to and in excess of...

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: Really?

    [Hoover stops midsentence]

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: How many have you apprehended?

    J. Edgar Hoover: We have arrested and arraigned 213 wanted felons.

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: No, I mean *you*, Director Hoover.

    J. Edgar Hoover: Well, as Director, I administer.

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: How many have you arrested, personally?

    [long pause as Hoover stares at McKellar]

    J. Edgar Hoover: I have never arrested anybody.

    [Other men in the chamber gasp in shock]

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: You've never arrested anybody?

    J. Edgar Hoover: Well of course not. I'm an administrator...

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: With no field experience. You are shockingly unqualified, aren't you, sir? You have never personally conducted a criminal investigation in the field in your life. I think you're a front. I think your prowess as a lawman is a myth, created from the hoopla of headlines by Mr. Suydam, your publicist there. Crimebuster? G-Man? You're setting yourself up as a Czar? That's running wild in my estimation.

    J. Edgar Hoover: A *crime* is what runs wild...

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: If this country requires a bureau such as yours, I question whether you are the person fit to run it.

    J. Edgar Hoover: [getting angry] Well I will not be judged by a kangaroo court of venal politicians...

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: Your appropriation increase is denied.

    [taps his gavel, signifying the end of the session; Hoover and his aides get up and leave]

    J. Edgar Hoover: Feed the following to Walter Winchell: "McKellar is a Neanderthal, and he is on a personal vendetta to destroy me." We will not contest him in his committee. We need to fight him on the front page. Where's John Dillinger?
