Al Capone should have paid his taxes.....

Rating: Null/10 (19 April 1999)

Eliot Ness teams up with "a good cop", a good shot and an IRS worker to bring down down one, if not the most notorious gangster in American history, Al Capone. The characters in the movie are fantastic Billy Drago as the relentless Frank Nitti, Charles Martin Smith as the goofy government worker Oscar Wallace and best of all is Sean Connery as the beat cop Jim Malone who teaches Ness to play by instinct and not the rules. Unforgettable scenes are the bridge-bootleg scene, the elevator scene, the "teamwork" scene and the scene in Malone's apartment. You root for the good guys from start to finish in this great story of 1930s Chicago. Don't miss the quick scene in which you see Malone gulping down a few swigs of hard liquor. Based on the series that starred Robert Stack on television. 4 stars out of 4. #7 on my top 50 list. -Jake Klim
