Ruined by ridiculous scenes

Rating: 4/10 (5 April 2001)

I was just checking out the IMDB list of top movies and was shocked by how high this movie ranked. Everyone has their opinion, but what did people see in this movie?
Don't compare this movie to the old TV show - the TV show was realistic. Kevin Costner is ridiculously over-dramatic playing Elliot Ness. The movie is filled with long drawn-out scenes, most of which are totally stupid. The scene in the train station with the baby carriage going down the stairs is one of the silliest things I have ever seen in a movie.
Typical is the scene where Sean Connery scares the bad-guy into a confession by riddling an already dead guy full of bullets. DePalma seems to like to use these unique scenes to get your attention. But the sum total of his work usually adds up to stupid movies.
