In 1987, acidic playwright David Mamet finally went pop, turning the already mythologized story of Eliot Ness vs. Al Capone into what modern audiences might recognize as a superhero movie. Walking-Hitchcock-tribute Brian DePalma stopped ripping off his hero juuust long enough to rip off Sergei Eisenstein beautifully, Ennio Morricone's score should have started a new genre of dance music called "Gangster Strings," and Sean Connery finally won an Oscar for playing a cranky, slur-spewing Irish cop (as if there's any other kind of Irish cop). But maybe the purest joy in this live-action cartoon? Hall-of-fame "That Guy" Charles Martin Smith stealing literally every scene he's in. (Screens in 70mm). by Bobby Roberts
