Embarrassing

Rating: 2/10 (5 June 2020)

I love movies about true events. I love movies that are fiction. I like some movies that are based on true events but take some understandable liberties to advance the story. And I love history, especially Chicago history. This piece of crap, however, took a mile when they should have taken an inch. This is a terrible terrible movie. Terrible writing. Terrible directing. Terrible acting. Corny and weak. I watched this and was embarrassed for everyone concerned. Bottom line is that "the untouchables" should not have been the subject of any movie. There is not enough meat on that bone. A great movie could have been made about that era in Chicago's history, but this garbage is an insult to anybody that has the slightest interest in movie making OR history. The writers and directors thought they could fluff up this story to make it exciting for an audience they don't respect. Feed them anything, they want explosions and horses!! Except they were too lazy to write and direct an intelligent movie. I woul have thought it impossible to make a boring movie about that era, so I guess in that way, you have succeeded.
