a crime drama directed by brian de palma
this movie is based on a tv series from 1959 which was based on eliot ness' account of catching the big time gangster, al capone. al capone was smuggling illegal liquor and the cops on mr. ness' team went out to catch capone and his men.
somehow 1980s movies seem to look and sound best to me. it must be that at that time, they had enough technology to get good quality, but not so much that they used the infamous "whisper-blast" technique.
I've seen too many gangster movies. everyone knows that goodfellas and casino are WAY better than any other gangster flick. this one was ok. the stroller scene was pretty good. the cop was helping a woman with a baby in a stroller up a set of stairs. this is when the gangsters show up and all hell breaks loose. if you like gangster movies and haven't seen this, it may be worth watching. the title reminds me of the nostradameus song. unfortunately, I can't find this song anywhere in the world wide webiverse.
