#10 – Public Enemies
The 2009 crime drama film is an adaptation of the non-fiction book “Public Enemies: America’s Greatest Crime Wave & the Birth of the FBI”, and the action of the movie is set throughout the Great Depression. The action is centered on the infamous bank robber John Dillinger (played by Johnny Depp) and although the movie is not 100% accurate from a historical point of view, most of the scenes are depicted from real acts. “If it was 100% accurate, you would call it a documentary” said Bryan Burrough, the author of the book who was impressed by the fictional facts added.
