Speaking of Al Capone I also liked Robert DeNiro's performance. I have longed considered DeNiro to be among the top actors of the last thirty years. Billy Drago also was convincing as the scumbag hitman hired by Capone. My disappointment in this movie was in Kevin Costner, who played Treasury agent Elliott Ness. Costner's acting was, IMO, serviceable, but as the primary protagonist in this film that doesn't cut it with me. His acting paled, IMO, to that of Connery and DeNiro. Costner's films, as a whole, are "hit and miss" with me. "Kevin Costner" films I liked: No Way Out(1987) Field Of Dreams(1989) Bull Durham(1988) The Bodyguard(1992) Dances With Wolves(1990) Wyatt Earp(1994) And the "Costner" films I didn't like at all: Revenge(1990) Message In A Bottle(1999) Waterworld(1995) Open Range(2003)
