The story of the war between gangster boss Al Capone and T-Man Elliot Ness. After being humiliated when an early raid on a Capone stronghold yields nothing but Canadian textbooks, Ness is willing to listen to the advice of veteran cop James Malone. Ness organises a group of detectives whom he calls the "untouchables" - men who can't be bought off by Capone. David Mamet's fanciful screenplay includes such fabrications as a vengeful Ness throwing Frank Nitti off a courthouse roof to his death (Nitti actually committed suicide), and a climactic railroad-depot shoot-out "borrowed" from Eisenstein's “Potemkin”. Somehow it matters very little that truth is a virtual stranger to the film: it thrills and entertains, and isn't that what movies are all about? (Hal Erickson)
