So Much Firepower, So Little Heat in Soulless 'Enemies'

It's tough to watch Johnny Depp these days when he's not wearing eyeliner, a do-rag and a monkey on his shoulder. After gooping up 'Finding Neverland,' glowering vacantly through 'Sweeney Todd' and annihilating every sprinkle of dignity in 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,' how can he be trusted with another larger-than-life character defined by a complicated past?

Depp dials down his weirdness to play gangster John Dillinger and, ironically, this choice sinks the movie. 'Public Enemies,' despite packing thunderous rounds of ammunition, is a touch too remote. There are no big speeches, no drawn-out death scenes, no gauzy flashbacks. It's a straight-faced, no-nonsense, shoot-'em-up, jailbreak, cat-and-mouse kind of movie.

How Johnny Depp Became Eternally Cool

Nobody," John Waters once said, "is sick of Johnny Depp." It's as true today as it was when Waters directed Depp in 1990's "Cry Baby," the film that diminished his hated TV teen-idol status with the help of Iggy Pop and Ricki Lake.
