Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Brilliant and touching

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I don't know what all of the real mob characters looked like, but I don't think many of the actors resembled the real mobsters especially the actor who played Sam Giancana. Good actor, but he looked nothing like the real guy. AND THE REST I ADDED TO HAVE THE AMOUNT OF LINES FOR SUBMISSION:The Gettysburg AddressThe Gettysburg National Cemetery was dedicated by President Abraham Lincoln a brief four months after the Battle. Lincoln's speech lasted only two minutes, but it went into history as the immortal Gettysburg Address. "Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war. . .testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated. . . can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate. . .we cannot consecrate. . . we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us. . .that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion. . . that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain. . . that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom. . . and that government of the people. . .by the people. . .for the people. . . shall not perish from the earth.

What better way to learn and enjoy at the same time. I wish there were more series like these.Whether 100% accurate or not, I don't really care. Perhaps some things are exaggerated, perhaps some facts presented a bit more romantic. It really doesn't bother me.The story line, the rise of Capone, has been covered many times, the story told many times. The genius of this is the combination of documentary and series. The acting surprisingly good.Though one would expect to be very predictable and very 'sopranos-like', it is not. Great care has been taken in producing and creating a worthy product.My compliments, and I can only say that I have enjoyed every episode equally.

As others have pointed out, this series is so full of inaccuracies that you probably would be better off watching re-runs of the old "Untouchables" with Robert Stack for historical context. Some examples:Dion O'Banion was not killed from across the room by the two gunmen who entered his flower shop. One of the men reached out to shake hands with him and held his gun hand while the other man pumped lead into him.In one scene, which is supposed to take place in 1925, there is a 1938 Chevy coupe in the background.Johnny Torrio was not shot in the street while out shopping with his wife. He was gunned down in the front yard of his home.Whoever got AMC to green light this nonsense must have bought a helluva lunch.

I rated this series a 10 because I loved the production of it in general. Being a history buff I was a little disappointed with this series crediting Luciano with creating the blueprint of the "Five Families" when it's well documented that Maranzano was the mastermind of that operation and that Luciano was the one to implement it.I was also confused when the narrator described Murder Inc. as being a group of Jewish hit men and not a mixture of Jewish and Italian hit men with the ringleader Albert Anastasia being Italian. There were a few other historical discrepancies however it wasn't to the point where I would lower my rating of the entire production itself because I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm hoping there will be another installment of this series because there are so many early gangsters that have notoriously made their mark in carving out a piece of the American Dream and it would be nice to see their story told.This was an excellent series and I was so sad for it to end.
