Please note this is a region B Blu-ray & will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play Since crime auteur Michael Mann like his protagonists plays by his own rules Public Enemies eschews back story & motivation for a closely-observed action-packed examination of men at work FBI supremo J Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup) kick-starts a nationwide manhunt when he proclaims John Dillinger (Johnny Depp) Public Enemy 1 Hoover taps Agent Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) to bring the Tommy Gun-toting bank robber in by any means necessary (the agency also targets Pretty Boy Floyd & Baby Face Nelson) If Dillinger had split the scene then & there he might have enjoyed a happier fate but he falls for beautiful coat-check girl Billie Frechette (Marion Cotillard whose open-hearted performance makes her the most sympathetic character in the film) In the end though Dillinger is the captain of his own destiny his loyalty to his girl & his gang overpowers his desire to live free Though the director also set his first film Thief & third series Crime Story in his native Chicago Public Enemies plays more like Heat in Depression-era garb In that LA policier Al Pacino&s cop develops a grudging respect for Robert De Niro&s criminal but letting a lawbreaker go free isn&t an option In this case however the tight-lipped Purvis never develops the same sort of esteem for Dillinger--or Hoover--making him the more tragic figure If Public Enemies is less overtly commercial than The Untouchables or Bugsy it&s still the best mainstream gangster epic in ages & ranks among Mann&s finest works Special Features Larger Than Life Adversaries Michael Mann

Christopher Weingarten's take on Nation Of Millions is a nuts-&-bolts account of how the Bomb Squad produced such a singular-sounding record
- the engineering sampling scratching constructing deconstructing & reconstructing How they re-sampled their own scratches to create Bring The Noise how they plundered & reconfigured their own composition for the proto-IDM splatter-collage of Night Of The Living Baseheads & most importantly how they played all the samples by hand
- together in a room like like a rock band
- creating a 'not quite right' tension that made the slick Reichian loops of Marley Marl look instantly dated (and by jacking a lot of the same breaks to boot) Through intense research & interviews Weingarten delves into the original songs that were sampled & recontextualized forever He finds out which of the four Bomb Squad members had the most personal relationship with each sample Which records came from whose crate & why? Four songs sample ' Funky Drummer' (PE has certainly used it more than any other artist outside of Atari Teenage Riot) What is it about its tumbling propulsion makes it their heartbeat? Were they influenced by Kool G Rap & the Ultramagnetic MC's use of it? Did they feel James Brown's vocal vamps in the original (' You don't have to do no soloing just keep what you got brother') or the nature of Stubblefield's eight-bar solo (just the same riff played over & over) predate the feel & aesthetic of sample-based hip-hop? 'A growing Alexandria of rock criticism'
