Thrillers often take on a new level of meaning when they are based on real life, and their stories can be even more exciting. While it's not too uncommon to see horror movies or crime movies based on real life, there are surprisingly few which can deliver the kind of ecstatic entertainment of a true thriller.

Ness had a taste for the spotlight, aiming to present himself as a hero cop cleaning the streets. Capone was also a prominent face in the media, so their battle played out all over the tabloids. David Mamet's script adds a few dramatic flourishes to the tale, but the bloodshed and the spectacle are all taken straight from history.
