Public Enemies
 No jail could hold John Dillinger, but you can have Public Enemy #1 at your beck and call . . . when Michael Mann’s Public Enemies, starring Johnny Depp as the charismatic Dillinger, Christian Bale as FBI Agent Melvin Purvis, and Marion Cotillard as Dillinger’s girlfriend, Billie Frechette, is released on DVD this fall.
Public Enemies opened to strong reviews in July and has earned more than $200 million in worldwide box office.
Universal has a staggered pattern of release dates and three different versions of Public Enemies available: a single-disc DVD, a two-disc Special Edition DVD, and Blu-ray. The Special Edition and Blu-ray versions also include digital copies. Online retailers are offering all three versions with substantial pre-order discounts, so it pays to shop around.
