Depression era Chicago where Al Capone and Elliot Ness square off!

Rating: 9/10 (27 September 1998)

One of the best mafia films ever made and one of Kevin Costner's best also. DeNiro does an excellent job playing Capone capturing all his menace and bluster. Sean Connery and Andy Garcia playing respectively the Irish cop who helps Ness and a rookie Italian cop who is an ace shot are as good as Costner!
The atmosphere of the film is enhanced by replicating the clothes, hair styles, and mannerisms of 1930's era Chicago.
One of the best shoot-outs ever filmed. Lots of violence but intelligently done.
9/10
