Coming Soon | Johnny Depp is Public Enemies #1.

Synopsis:

"Public Enemies" is the story of legendary Depression-era outlaw John Dillinger-the charismatic bank robber whose lightning raids made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoover's fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis, and a folk hero to much of the downtrodden public. No one could stop Dillinger and his gang. No jail could hold him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone-from his girlfriend Billie Frechette to an American public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the country into the Depression. But while the adventures of Dillinger's gang-later including the sociopathic Baby Face Nelson and Alvin Karpis-thrilled many, Hoover hit on the idea of exploiting the outlaw's capture as a way to elevate his Bureau of Investigation into the national police force that became the FBI. He made Dillinger America's first Public Enemy Number One and sent in Purvis, the dashing "Clark Gable of the FBI.'' However, Dillinger and his gang outwitted and outgunned Purvis' men in wild chases and shootouts. Only after importing a crew of Western ex-lawmen (newly baptized as agents) and orchestrating epic betrayals-from the infamous "Lady in Red'' to the Chicago crime boss Frank Nitti-were Purvis, the FBI and their new crew of gunfighters able to close in on Dillinger.

Few trivia about the movie:

1. While the film project was put in the development in 2004 Leonardo DiCaprio was initially attached to start in the leading role.
2. If anyone remember carefully Depp says to one of the bank customers in the trailer, "We're here for the bank's money, not yours" which the line was in same director's film Heat (1995) said by Robert De Niro.

While some identified goofs in the film:

1. Dillinger (Depp) was refers as the man who killed "Pretty Boy Floyd" but actual fact Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy" Floyd was killed by FBI & Ohio law enforcement officials back October 1934. John Dillinger was actually killed in Chicago by FBI agents outside the Biograph Theater exactly three month before Pretty Boy killed.
2. As Dillinger (Depp) died in 1934 but in the main trailer the grill of the Dillinger getaway car is 1936 Chevrolet. Obviously the model were not in production until late '35.
