Overview

Young Treasury Agent Eliot Ness arrives in Chicago and is determined to take down Al Capone, but it’s not going to be easy because Capone has the police in his pocket. Ness meets Jim Malone, a veteran patrolman and probably the most honorable one on the force. He asks Malone to help him get Capone, but Malone warns him that if he goes after Capone, he is going to war.

Viewing Notes

Forgot how over the top The Untouchables is at certain moments. It has an 80s styling all over it. DeNiro now reminds me of Devito’s Penguin in Batman Returns. Billy Drago’s fall is quite comical tho. Still a solid film. The recent Public Enemies trailer had me in the mood to revisit this one.
