case in point: Michale Jackson and the huge pass that he's getting. Evidently if you a big enough "star" you can even get away with f-ing little boys!

I thought it was great. Mann uses a different style to tell this story than most Americans are used to I think. It's a bit less linear with more fill in the blanks for the viewer. Mann definately knows what he's doing but it's a style that takes about 30 min to get used to.
I've never heard the sound of gun fire so acurately captured, especially during the Little Bohemia sceen. Does it glamorizes Dillinger? I think that was the question that Mann was trying to provoke, as the theater sceen so eloquently played out. Public Enemies is definately a hit.
