Everything Johnny Depp touches seems to turn cult. Heck, I’d even let him touch me inappropriately…if the price is right :inlove:

From some memorable performances in Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Dead Man, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the incomparable Mr Depp now plays the role of notorious 1930s bank robber John Dillinger in the movie Public Enemies. Nicknamed “the jackrabbit” for his graceful movements, Dillinger murdered loads of police officers, robbed over 12 banks (and four police stations!), and escaped jail on two occasions. He operated in the so-called “public enemy” era, a period that led to the birth of the FBI.

Directed by Michael Mann (Heat, Collateral, Miami Vice), Public Enemies recounts the last year of John Dillinger’s life during the Great Depression. See the trailer below.

It looks like a solid crime caper. It’s already out in the U.S., but I couldn’t find anything concrete on its release date in South Africa. I’m guessing September 4th.
