What Michael Mann has achieved with the new Public Enemies is to capture some of the raw energy and allure of the old gangster B-films." — Combustible Celluloid Posted Jul 3, 2009 |

This may be my favorite of the Friday the 13th series, mainly because of the winking, insider humor; it's almost like a precursor to Wes Craven's Scream ten years later." — Combustible Celluloid Posted Jun 18, 2009 |
