An excellent depiction of gangland Chicago

Rating: Null/10 (13 April 1999)

This film is a masterful blend of violence, suspense and history. The cast not only includes Robert DeNiro, Sean Connery and Kevin Costner, but a bunch of character actors and lesser known stars who support the marquee names. Although not necessarily true to history, Brian DePalma's version of Elliott Ness and his battle with Al Capone includes a terrific dramatic death sequence with Sean Connery as well as a slow motion gun battle in Union Station. A must see for anyone who enjoys mob movies or DePalma's unique approach to directing.
