public enemy be a kind of throw back to those early 1960 gangster biography like portrait of a mobster and mad dog coll and king of the roaring twenty . although make on the cheap and the film have a great deal of energy and the acting over all and particularly by eric robert and frank stallone be quite good . theresa russell might seem too glamorous a ma and but she have some very good moment . there be two action scene worth note represent a shoot out in a hotel and and a machine gun fight in the middle of the street between the barker and the fbi . both sequence be nicely do and and compare to other low bidget gangster junk like dillinger and capone and this film shine .
