Public Enemies [DVD] [2009]

If you plan on buying this movie, get it on DVD. The money will only be wasted on the Bluray. 75% of the film is great, looks crisp. But the rest is very distorted, has bad banding, is pixelated and just looks like a rough cut that had no editing or digital work done. It must be a bad transfer to disc from the master or they just moved too fast to get this on the shelf and didn't care about quality. p.s. The pics are examples of what it looks like. I don't have the tv that the pics are on, I have a Samsung 52 1080P 120hz bought in may and a panasonic bought 2 weeks ago. It hasn't happened on any other bluray or dvd film I've watched on them.

I love Johnny Depp. This is one of his best. I liked the location settings used to make the film.

Public Enemies is the story of how the Feds try to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd during a booming crime wave in the 1930s. Good story line from a first rate cast of Johnny Depp, Christian Bale etc. I love historical dramas so I was a sucker for this flick. If that sort of thing appeals, you might also like, Road to Perdition with Tom Hanks.

'Public Enemies" is the (highly fictionalized) story of a bit of John Dillinger's life and his death. Overall it's pretty entertaining and Depp does a good job.

My shopping experience at BestBuy was very pleasant... I received my order quicker than the estimated delivery time... This movie was clear in standard dvd but the Blu-Ray version is too real to be true.... Everything from the audio & video were enchanced to crystal clear clarity to the detail of the wardrobe for the actors in the movie during the film's era... The comparsion scenario is like a Jimi Hendrix song on an 8-track or original cassette tape versus remastered on a enhanced Cd... I highly recommend this movie on Blu-Ray from BestBuy..

You have no idea how much I love gangster movies. We are in 2018 and I bought this 20O9 movie. Love it. Thank you Best Buy

Primary interest in this film was in locale that it was filmed which is an area we frequent during summer months. Story did not depict gangsters as particularly bad individuals but law enforcement, specifically FBI was characterized as brutal, corrupt and generally unsavory which was possibly factual. Aside from personal greed it was never clear what these criminals ultimate object was. Good acting and recreation of the times.

Enjoyed watching this movie in the theater purchased to add to my movie collection.
