The Untouchables




Drink: Limoncello Martini
Dinner: Deep Dish Chicago Style Pizza
Dessert: Gelato

Movie:
There are two stand out elements from this film:

  • The baby carriage scene at Union Station.
  • Robert De Niro as Al Capone. 

Both of these change the path of the film & instead of cheering for Kevin Costner's character you really find yourself wanting more Al Capone.  Oddly from the lack of information available it seems like the windy city would prefer this part of history be forgotten.  Back to the movie though...De Niro absolutely steals the show & rises above in what sometimes seems like a campy Dick Tracyesque depiction of Chicago's 1930's mob scene.  All in all there are better mob movies out there but you need to see De Niro in action in this role.

Mel's Rating: 79%
