Public Enemies

After spending 2 hours 35 minutes in TGV semalam, nothing else came to mind but more movies must be watched in this leave period. Too bad, I've seen the rest of it i.e. Revenge of the Fallen (1st day), Dawn of the Dinasour. So, something out of the mainstream did I pick for today's menu. Itu pun sebab it's an old skool gangster & cop stuff and also sebab two big stars casted the movie. Long lost Pirates of Carribean Mr Johnny Depp as the popular John Dillinger (the mob) and no other than the current big screen hit Batman/Terminator Christian Bale. Meletup ala kapal angkasa gaban...sepatutnya.

However the story line kept everybody to their role, where no biaise are being granted on both sides. John, an obsessed opportunist big time bank robber grown popular & turned desperate as more deceased members whacked down by FBI while Special Agent Purvis was about to reach his peak carrier building his portfolio maintaining machoism. Yes, the story overcast around these two characters but Dillinger was the main star here...don't forget the movie title.

Movie scenes was very, very, very detail. Most of the shots are taken closely, you'll need a widescreen tv to enjoy this. I can still clearly remember every faces in the movie until I reached the carpark.

The sounds & enviro was quite similar to Miami Vice especially the liveshot camera following the gunfights & the booming 1930's machinegun shots across the cinema hall. World!

Overall, it was something out off the mainstream in the summer release, take out fantasies & science fiction stuff, this movie was branded original from the US dark history where heroes and villains turned out dead at the end. However, it did spooked me into revisiting The Untouchables & Miami Vice though. Maybe later tonight after Tour de France.
OK, those are the movies but I'm not. TALK TO THE HAND buddy. Yep, hand is recovering. Dropped by PKUPM yesterday & replaced the bandage. Stitches alright but little bites of pain still I endure once in a while. Can I make it for the weekend's Shape Run & Saturday's ride? Insyallah.
