- Prohibition is an amusingly productive setting for stories; hidden liquor compartments in old Los Angeles homes illustrate the era.
- Capone is a great villain, and De Niro’s opulent public performance is compared with Trump.
- Connery’s conspicuously non-Irish accent has become enjoyable comedy, despite also being an aged-worst choice.
- The Armani wardrobe credit, period clothes and hats, and young Costner’s hair are admired.
- Billy Drago has an ideal villain’s face, prompting curiosity about his later character-actor career.
- The dead-man-talking line and limited meetings between Ness and Capone are compared with Heat, inspiring a hypothetical diner conversation.
- Building a trusted crew outside the usual system prompts a joke about founding The Ringer.
- Real Chicago locations, accessible Mamet dialogue, and both the opening and romantic Morricone themes are admired.
