It's the Time of Al Capone

Rating: 8/10 (17 September 2006)

The stars are amazing: Kevin Costner, Robert De Niro, Andy Garcia and Sean Connery. I don't know about Charles Martin Smith; but I think his doing good acting. And by the directing of Brian De Palma, the movie was looking amazing too.
It was in 1930. It was the time of Alphonso Capone. Who doesn't know this man? That was a little girl at a small coffee shop who was died by a bomb. The bomb was putting in a bag, carrying by a mafia. They want offer alcohol drink; but the owner of the coffee shop denied. Then... bum! A bomb exploded. Newspaper and television report the exploding. Special Agent of Treasury Department, Elliot Ness (Kevin Costner) who have a romantic relationship with his wife and little child, take an order from federal government to control the violence.
It's not only about good or not to drink alcohol; the point was in its circulation (selling, distribution, I mean) and the mafia who control it always make crimes (murder) when they found a conflict in the circulation process. There are many mafias have their own business illegally; their business make them rich. And what you can't do without money? Prohibition's Law has no more power and attention.
Behind crimes, alcohol, mafia, there is a good point for me I can get from this movie. When there is violence, crimes and everything out of control, attempting to do something good is possible even people around say that it was ridiculous.
Actually, nobody cannot be trusted in Chicago, even the policemen. There are maybe only two person who support Ness to stop the crimes: his wife and the mother of the little girl. But, Ness, somehow found his men. An innocent-funny accountant Oscar Wallace (Charles Martin Smith) The old policemen Jimmy Malone (Sean Connery), George Stone (Andy Garcia). This four men accompanied against Capone (Robert De Niro). The blood shed in every steps. Capone has big organization, money and influence in Chicago. He and his people I guess mentioned as the untouchables in the title, by law.
