Smooth and Exciting

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2016)

Just watched this story a week ago, there are a bit information of this film I remember.
A piece of story based on the life of a mafia boss legend in the era of 30-40's in Chicago, Al Capone(Robert De Niro). But the focus one in this film is a police agent, Eliot Ness(Kevin Costner) as the main character. It's about the effort of Eliot in bringing Al Capone to the justice department for many crimes were made by him.
I'm not sure if this film really based 100% on true story as I don't follow that much on Al Capone's cases. Next, back into the story. Two hours given was satisfying the feeling. A calm story line and not too rush. And it's given me to feel the worry and nervousness that felt by the main character and the other protagonists.
Character building is pretty good for me which the main character are struggling on his shameful working performance at the beginning of story and start to rise in the fight to take down Al Capone. A bit disappointment, Al Capone's character seems not to be given a chance to emerge his evilness in the film instead Frank Nitti(Billy Drago) is more evil as Nitti is simply the sidekick that responsible for dirtying his hand to make sure the hands of big boss is always clean. Maybe because of this is a true story and nearly end of the power of Al Capone in Chicago. So only that little things could be shown there. In addition at the beginning scene, the dirty hand of Nitti was the cause of making me shocked and thought that he is the person that should be kicked in the ass than Al Capone.
The action that will keep to be remembered of course at the shooting scene at the train station that shows in amazing slow motion. The excitement is so tasty. The cinematography that matches with the west/American fashion in the setting of time around 30-40's making me felt like watching a 60's Hollywood film in color, just my feeling only.
