Pacing was dreadfully slow, the movie's 140 minute runtime made it feel like an eternity.
It seemed as if a lot of stuff was happening but there was no buildup. For having the names Depp, Bale, and Mann thrown into a period piece about gangsters the movie is surprisingly flat.
I also thought the HD video didn't mesh with the period sets very well.

<<<<<SPOILER ALERT>>>>>
I was surprised that the movie ended five minutes after Dillinger got shot. That was refreshing. It just took too long to get there.

I fear this more than anything.
It actually make me not want to see it and I'm even a big Mann fan.
Heat and The Insider are among my favorite movies.

Also, I didn't notice any difference between the digital photography and the conventional photography, probably because I was caught up in the action and didn't think to care or compare.

A friend of mind also swears that he heard a baseball score in the game announce as "Cubs beating the Yankees 3-2." I didn't hear the Yankees part which would have been impossible back then (no interleague play), but I definitely heard the Cubs up 3-2 part. They played the Phils that day and lost 6-5 but they could have been up 3-2 at some point. If anyone cares to watch the film again and listen to that part (it's near the end when Dilinger enters the police station) let me know what they say.

Chris,
In terms of sound, it might be the way theater auditoriums are set up for audio. You'd think these things would be calibrated the same, but I don't think they are. For instance, the one thing I liked best about "Public Enemies" was the sound. The surround information was especially realistic in a subtle way but effective way, the dynamics were strong without being overpowering, and while a few of gunshots were loud, the overall levels at the theater in which I saw it were near perfect.
That differs entirely with the sound levels of "Transformers," which I saw last week at the same theater complex, where my ears were practically bleeding after the first ten minutes.

Tough question.
For me it is hard to call. I think "Heat" but there are scenes in "The Insider" I really like.
