Public Enemy

A struggling young stockbroker sees his life unravel when he's framed for insider trading by his boss and a corrupt executive. He must go on the run, aided by his loyal friends, to clear his name and expose their illegal activities before it's too late. The film follows his increasingly comical attempts to evade capture while trying to gather evidence.

Public Enemy was met with a largely negative reception from critics, who found its plot predictable and its humor uninspired. Audiences were similarly unimpressed, leading to a poor box office performance and a general consensus that the film failed to deliver on its comedic premise.

• The film suffers from a weak script and a lack of original comedic ideas.

• Performances are generally underwhelming, failing to elevate the material.

• Despite its attempts at humor and suspense, it ultimately falls flat.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate that while some found the premise mildly amusing, the majority felt the movie was forgettable with uninspired jokes and a predictable storyline. Many suggested it was an unoriginal attempt at a heist comedy.

Jay Mohr, who plays the lead character, also starred in the comedy film 'Picture Perfect' which was released in the same year.
