Never stop fighting till the fight is done!

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2020)

Brian De Palma's best piece of work, this movie. I'm a huge fan of the movie Scarface, Palma's other movie and for me to say that this movie even tops Scarface is saying something. Brilliant masterpiece is what this movie is!
This movie not only captures the grittiness and corruption of Chicago of that era, it captures the people's emotions and their behavior pretty precisely. We barely see any screen time for Al Capone (De Niro) here and yet, within 5 minutes of starting, we're explained how powerful he really is and it would require a piece of work of a man to bring him down. Only brilliant storytelling and direction will give you that.
Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Andy Garcia and Charles Smith were absolutely brilliant in this movie. If I go too deep I might end up spoiling some fun but all I can say is they played all their roles nicely.
There is a long suspense right around the ending of the movie which convinced me to rate this movie as highly as I can. I've almost never felt such suspense from a movie of its time before and it really got to me.
