Public Enemy #2

About This Movie

So, Public Enemy #2 is this quirky little comedy from 1991 that really plays with the absurdity of fame and media culture. Dave Thomas shines as Wynn Dalton, this hapless actor who just happens to look a lot like a murderous psycho, also played by him. It’s got this offbeat humor that feels very much like something you’d expect from the Second City crew. The pace is pretty brisk, keeping you chuckling while it pokes fun at the sensationalism of crime shows. The vibe is light, but it doesn’t shy away from some darker themes about identity and societal obsession with notoriety. Thomas’s performance is really what ties it all together, showcasing his range in these dual roles. It’s definitely a unique entry in the comedy genre, worth digging into if you appreciate that off-kilter style.
