Comments on: The ‘Public Enemies’ Script Is Rock-Solid, The First Great Studio Film Of 2009? https://staging2.theplaylist.net/script-review-public-enemies-is-20090226/ Sun, 08 Nov 2020 18:02:46 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: Guadalahonky https://staging2.theplaylist.net/script-review-public-enemies-is-20090226/#comment-8662 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 19:50:28 +0000 http://theplaylist.wpengine.com/?p=8372#comment-8662 Did you actually write that the script is 'rock solid'? No, the script isn't rock solid, snap ass.

There are so many fascinating aspects to this legendary character, his gang, their daring exploits, the period of the Great Depression, or the emerging field of criminology and it's rudimentary police procedures.

Instead, we got none of the above. Dillinger was the single most famous man in America for his short 18 month robbery spree across middle America. Why did he do it when he knew there was no future ahead for him? For that fact, why was Purvis so driven to catch him?

The script told us nothing about these people.Everything was right with this project: Director, cast, the true story, budget…and the script was junk.
