About this product

Product Information

Kevin Costner is idealistic federal agent Eliot Ness, whose assignment to clean up Prohibition-era Chicago leads to violence and manly questions about upholding the law. Initially powerless to stop the flow of booze into the city (the police force is corrupt and everyone in town seems to be on the mob's payroll), Ness finds guidance from an older streetwise cop (Sean Connery, who won an Academy Award for this role) who convinces him he'll need to break some rules if he wants to bring down head mobster Al Capone (Robert De Niro). Andy Garcia and Charles Martin Smith play Ness's other recruits, who together must stand tall against a city full of assassins. Director Brian De Palma (MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE) packs the film with violence and creative camera movements while David Mamet's intelligent script capably dodges cliché at every turn. There's a real sense of what's at stake for these characters on a personal level, which contrasts nicely with the futility inherent in enforcing Prohibition in the first place. The film is based on the autobiographical book by Ness (cowritten with Oscar Fraley) and the 1959-63 TV series; Ennio Morricone (THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY) composed the uninhibitedly bombastic score.

Corruption,prohibition, violence, weeding out bad cops to find good ones to fight all the bad elements can be a problem not readily solved ,but Elliot Ness rounds up a few good men and goes to town to tear at Al. Capone and others to get the city back in check. The downside was of course watching some of the good die while trying to serve the mission .

Good entertaining story, even if not historically accurate
Sometimes the truth is just as interesting as fiction (& sometimes even better!), but movie makers often feel the need to make things more dramatic and thus more exciting. That is the case with this movie. It's great entertainment - some of it is fairly factual and some of it is entirely made up. If you're a true history buff it will drive you crazy, but if you want to just be entertained you can't beat the excitement & drama created in this movie. Overall, good entertainment worth watching.

Outstanding Movie
This is a outstanding movie with great actors. All actors were great in this movie and when it comes right down too it its not far from being a true story. History wise it is.
