Fictional account of historical events. Terrible movie!

Rating: 2/10 (4 January 2015)

It's hard to make such a bad movie about a colorful period in American history, but they did just that. I cannot recommend any part of this film as worthwhile, from the poor acting, very flat performances to the truly bad musical score, this film is bad all around. It does not follow the historical events accurately besides the fact that Al Capone and Eliot Ness, etc. did exist.
The characters are cartoon like, as is the action - just watch the scene with the baby carriage going down the stairs with guns firing all around it.
How this received such a high rating is beyond me! The film actually made me angry because it was so ridiculous. Just think of this material in the hands of someone like Scorsese.
