Chicago of Al Capone’s time. Gung ho Treasury agent, Elliot Ness. played by Keviin Costner, sent to Chicago to take out Capone, and Malone, old Chicago beat cop, played by Sean Connery. After a failed raid, Malone straightens Ness out and they begin to score against Capone. Cool scene where a shipment (many truckloads) of Canadian booze is met by Capone’s people, driving nice limousines and bringing money, meet at the Canadian border. Elliot and Malone’s people shoot down Capone’s people so hard core than a Canadian officer calls them out on it. To which Ness replies, “We are from Chicago.”. The 1930’s interiors, wood trim, wall paper, kitchen stoves, and other stuff looked just like it did in my childhood. Some good lines like “Bring a knife to a gun fight” from Malone as he pulls a sawed off 12 gauge out of his Victrola to take down a Capone assassin. Robert De Niro plays a nasty and murderous Al Capone. A good watch.
