The Untouchables
After building an empire with bootleg alcohol, legendary crime boss Al Capone rules Chicago with an iron fist. Though Prohibition Agent Eliot Ness attempts to take Capone down, even his best efforts fail due to widespread corruption within the Windy City's police force. Recruiting an elite group of lawmen who won't be swayed by bribes or fear, including Irish-American cop Jimmy Malone, Ness renews his determination to bring Capone to justice.

This a great movie with fantastic characters. Loosely based on the real life capers of Eliot Ness and Al Capone, Kevin Kostner creates a family-man character firmly rooted in doing the right thing who is teamed up with a grizzled, cynical, all-knowing real world cop played by Sean Connery.
Deniro makes a frighteningly unpredictable Al Capone with an introductory scene that will make you recoil in fear and horror. Deniro is so convincing I have a feeling he would make the real Al Capone wet his pants.
Some great lines, some tense albeit over-the-top scenes keep this movie moving to a conclusion we can all see coming, but it’s a fun ride.
