Why I Hate Public Enemies

"Public Enemies"...not awful. But horribly, copiously disappointing. I'm so put-out with everyone involved, I'm gonna offer a few more things about this movie that made me really livid-
1) There's this new invention called editing-it involves cutting out scenes that don't matter or that add nothing to the propulsion of the plot. However, in this movie, Michael Mann has apparently hired a chimpanzee (Bubbles??) to perform this task. Pointless scenes that add nothing to anything whatsoever are featured ad nauseum. For example, after a bank robber, Dillinger and crew hide out at a friends house and wrap sandwiches for the road. It has nothing to do with character, as we don't ever get to know any of these people other than Dillinger by name. It's not plot-related. It's just sandwiches, in all their deli-fied glory. Again. Sandwiches.
2) The script. Mann helped write it. You wouldn't know it from lines like "He could be anywhere. But he's not anywhere, he's somewhere-right...here." Wha-?? He also steals several lines verbatim from his older, better movies.
3) Marion Cotillard!! She's crazy talented and won a deserved Oscar...for a French-speaking role. She learned English while making this movie, and boy does it show. Note to Mann: feel free to cast actors who have at least a 3rd-grade education in the language you're filming your picture in.
4) The score. It's big, lavish, and orchestral, which jars with the smaller-than-life performances, the reflective tone, and, most importantly-
5) THE CAMERAWORK.-I'm not just talking about the much-maligned shaky camerawork in this movie. I'm talking about the fact Mann seems to have forgotten how to work a camera. For example, when Depp and Christian Bale have their big "Heat"-esque scene (singular) together, he shoots much of it either from far away or overhead. NOTE: When you are shooting a classic confrontation between two of the best actors of our time, SHOW US THEIR FACES!
in short, Michael Mann has really blown it here. As for why I didn't give it a D or an F??? That implies it was awful enough to deserve some kind of notoriety. Nope. Instead, it's just shamefully shabby.
