Caption: Johnny Depp sez... "Where's my backstory? Three lousy sentences? Guess I'll just shoot the gun some more, huh?"Public Enemies directed by Michael Mann. It was great to look at, but the characters had no resonance. I needed more behind the characters of John Dillinger and F.B.I. agent Melvin Purvis. Though jam-packed with great actors, this long film felt slight.
And there was real, jolt-you-out-of-the-story moment... In a nightclub, singing (quite beautifully) is none other than Diana Krall. How can you not help but think "out of place?" If they wanted Krall on the soundtrack, they should have had another actress lip sync the nightclub singing. A very strange casting choice.
