Based on a painstaking Bryan Burrough's book “Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933–34,” the book that has been touted as one of the most accurate portrayals of the time period and the war between feds and gangsters, “Public Enemies” adaptation film is a cat-and-mouse thriller about the early days of the FBI, and one agent's pursuit of the Depression-era bank robber whose dizzy reign of stickups and near escapes ended in a hail of bullets outside of Chicago's Biograph Theater in 1934. Famous outlaw John Dillinger lived fast, died young, and left not only a handsome corpse but a legacy as one of the most notorious criminals of the 20th century.
