Plot: February, 1991. Tommy, a Desert Storm marine dismayed that the US isn't taking out Saddam, breaks some rules and faces hard labor. An FBI agent offers him an out: go home to his gritty, dockside home in Pennsylvania and help get the goods on an Italian heroine dealer; in return, no prison time and no arrest of Tommy's brother Vincent and cousin Joey. Loyalty to family conflicts with loyalty to the code of the street. Can Tommy sort it out, protect his brother and cousin, and stay true? Do young men die - in the sands of the Middle East and on the mean streets of the US - for no reason?

Taglines: The Chicago Dream is that big AL CAPONE. He ruled Chicago with absolute power. No one could touch him. No one could stop him. - Until Eliot Ness and a small force of men swore they'd bring him down. What are you prepared to do? Never stop fighting till the fight is done

Quotes:

Judge: [after Ness has discovered Capone bribed the jury to acquit him] Bailiff, I want you to go next door to Judge Hawton's court, where they've just begun hearing a divorce action. I want you to bring that jury in here, and take this jury to his court. Bailiff, are those instructions clear?::Bailiff: [puzzled] Yes, sir, they're... clear...::Capone: [to his attorney] What's he talking about? What is it?::Judge: Bailiff, I want you to switch the juries.::Bailiff: Yes sir.::Defense Attorney: Your honor, I object!::Judge: Overruled.

Capone: I want you to get this fuck where he breathes! I want you to find this nancy-boy Eliot Ness, I want him DEAD! I want his family DEAD! I want his house burned to the GROUND! I wanna go there in the middle of the night and I wanna PISS ON HIS ASHES!

Malone: You just fulfilled the first rule of law enforcement: make sure when your shift is over you go home alive. Here endeth the lesson.

Malone: Don't wait for it to happen. Don't even want it to happen. Just watch what does happen.

Ness: I wanna hurt the man, Malone. You hear me? I wanna start taking the battle to him. I wanna hurt Capone!

Malone: Why do you want to be a police officer?::Williamson: To protect the... people and the... p...::Malone: I'm not looking for the textbook answer. Why do you want to join the force.::Williamson: The force?::Malone: Yeah, why do you want to join the force.::Williamson: Because... I...::Malone: Yeah?::Williamson: ...think I could help.::Malone: You think you could help.::Williamson: ...with the force.::Malone: Thank you very much, you've been most helpful. [Williamson leaves] [to Ness] There goes the next chief of police.

Malone: Why do you want to join the force?::George Stone: To protect the property and citizenry of...::Malone: Ah, don't waste my time with that bullshit. Where you from, Stone?::George Stone: I'm from the south-side.::Malone: Stone. George Stone. That's your name? What's your real name?::George Stone: That is my real name.::Malone: Nah. What was it before you changed it?::George Stone: Giuseppe Petri.::Malone: Ah, I knew it. That's all you need, one thieving wop on the team.::George Stone: Hey, what's that you say?::Malone: I said that you're a lying member of a no good race.::George Stone: [He cuffs Stone across the face. As he draws back his arm again, Stone presses a gun under his chin] Much better than you, you stinking Irish shit pig.::Malone: Oh, I like him.::Ness: [Ness looking a bit nervous and Malone smiling at Stone] Yeah I like him too.

Capone: You can get further with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word.

Capone: I'm gonna tell you something. Somebody messes with me, I'm gonna mess with with him. Somebody steals from me, I'm gonna say you stole. Not talk to him for spitting on the sidewalk. Understand? Now, I have done nothing to harm these people but they are angered with me, so what do they do, doctor up some income tax, for which they have no case. To speak to me like me, no, to harass a peaceful man. I pray to god if I ever had a grievance I'd have a little more self respect. One more thing, you have an all out prize fight, you wait until the fight is over, one guy is left standing. And that's how you know who won.

Capone: People are gonna drink! You know that, I know that, we all know that, and all I do is act on that. And all this talk of bootlegging - what is bootlegging? On a boat, it's bootlegging. On Lake Shore Drive, it's hospitality. I'm a businessman!
