The Greatest of the Gangster Movies

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2007)

This movie is awesome. I have no idea why it is not in the top 10 but it really should be. This is most certainly Brian DePalma's best work ever. The story revolves around a Treasury Officer Elliot Ness. Ness is maddened at the fact that Al Capone rules the streets with an iron fist. After a failed bust resulting in his rep losing much credibility, he assembles a crack squad consisting of James(?) Malone(Sean Connery's greatest performance), a bookish Oscar, and sharp shooter George Stone(Geuseppi Petri). Together they peel thru the layers of Capone's Organization,(SPOILERS AHEAD!!) finally jailing him on an income tax violation crime.
That being said, this movie has some truly great scenes. For example, Even though a lot of people complain about the ludicrously prolonged death of Malone, the opera music in the background adds to its importance and significance.
And the UNFORGETTABLE baseball bat slaying. The dark music in the aftermath clearly speaks without words that Capone is evil. But Even the most eloquent words cannot do this movie justice in its awesomeness, brilliance, and greatness. NEVER STOP FIGHTING 'TILL THE FIGHT IS DONE
