Public Enemies could have been a great summer action movie but there were too many slow scenes and random events that took away from the exciting lives of 1930s criminals. The action scenes were great. But too few and far apart for the movie to have a quick, exciting pace. There was hardly any focus on the bank robberies themselves. The scenes were too short and should have had a more in depth look at Dillinger's techniques. Also, the last half of the movie was very anti-climatic. They should have let the story drive a little away from the exact details of Dillinger's life so that it could be a "movie" and not seem so much like a stylized documentary.
