You just fulfilled the first rule of law enforcement: make sure when your shift is over you go home alive. Here endeth the lesson.
I have always been a fan of the style of prohibition era gangsters and cops. Wearing nice suits and fedoras to work everyday I think was the peak of style (at least for men) in the past 200 years. This film follows Eliot Ness (played by Kevin Costner in his breakout role) and his team of "untouchable" agents as they fight to take down Al Capone's crime syndicate. Robert DeNiro does a haunting job in bringing the most notorious gangster to life, and Sean Connery rounds out the top-billed cast in an Oscar-winning role as one of Ness' top men. Brian de Palma directs and I usually either love his movies (this one) or hate them (Scarface). Regardless of my personal opinions about his subject matters though, he sure can direct his butt off.
