these two guys are the best actors working today, the best of their generation, I'll be in line the Friday Public Enemies opens.

Does the title indicate any connection to the old James Cagney film?

No. It's based on the book Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI.

Ok Spiderfan, so who DO you think is worth gushing over, Sarah Michelle Gellar? I'm just wondering how many of Bale or Depp's performances you HAVE seen because if you don't see the big deal you're crazy!

That question could be phrased in a less aggressive manner (please), but it's a legitimate one...

Personally I don't think any artist is necesarily worth gushing over. I am not by any means stating they are bad actors. They are both phenomenal actors and have seen a variety of work by both of them. But I have yet to see a movie worthy of the fanboy hype that surrounds them. I have nothing but respect for either man, but their presence does not necesarily imply instant greatness upon any project they work on.

My reaction is not to their work but to the fans who praise them endlessly.

Though it is awesome Bale kills him in the movie (I read a portion of a script review).

Cotillard is French, and so her casting is odd.

Public Enemies

Why does this film need *six* producers?

Chud.com's review of the script

For those who want to stay spoiler free, the verdict is that it's very good.

Zaz, can you please add this thread to the index?

its Depps casting that makes this movie. im a big time fan and defender of Michael Mann ( check the thread if you dont believe me ), but he really has slipped a bit of late.
