Public Enemies
A less focused, 1930’s Heat. There’s not just one cop and one robber, it’s a lot of robbers with distinct allegiances and a boatload of cops (and even some bureaucrats like Hoover). It’s still better than The Untouchables, but doesn’t hold a candle to any of the Scarface films.
Marion Cotillard has a bad role, but she plays her professionally. Johnny Depp as a larger than life celebrity that commoners adore and feels like he has no limits, he can do everything he wants? That must have wrecked his mental health even more.

This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
