Justice,
a ten-year-old girl, misunderstood that someone had left her bag in the store, kindly took the bag out of the store and called the uncle, who expected that the bag was a bomb for the store owner, and in an instant, a kind and beautiful little boy The girl was swallowed by a fireball.
After that, Treasury Commissioner Eliot Ness was sent to this world-famous but dark lakeside city. Along with him are his wife and daughter. After a direct threat, he transferred his wife and daughter to special protection. Then, in this place where justice and evil fought to the death, his son was also born.
When the station was besieging key witnesses, a mother stayed at the scene that was about to be stained with blood in order to comfort the crying child in the cradle. Ness anxiously searched for the crowd entering the station, while hoping that her mother would bring her with her. The child leaves as soon as possible. Looking at the mother who was struggling to pull the stroller up the stairs with her luggage, he finally couldn't help helping her pull the stroller. On the last steps he saw the witnesses, and the demons who were escorting them. Turn around and shoot the first one, then the second, the third. . . At the same time, the stroller slid down the stairs, and Ness fought back, desperately chasing the falling stroller. At the last moment, his partner Stone covered the stroller with his body and shot the criminal who hijacked the witness with a headshot.
As a crime thriller man play, the untouchable seems to have too many kid scenes. In fact, the director explained what justice is from the most basic aspect of these children. Justice, the most basic, is that innocent children in this world can grow up in peace and joy, and will not be invaded by sin or even take their lives.
Brotherhood
The leak of the first operation made Ness decide to form his own operation group. The quartet seems oddly formed, Ness, the leader, Jim Malone, an old night patrol cop who hates hatred and refuses to join forces, George Stone, a police academy student and shooting genius, Oscar Wallace, the Treasury Commissioner, a man who is close to ledger research. Obsessed nerd. Four seemingly completely different people come together for a common goal. A group photo after the victory of the first battle is almost the only record of their sincere years. Malone, helped Ness make up his mind to fight the villain leader Al Capone to the end, helped Ness set up a team, and helped Ness understand the laws of Chicago, how to survive and break through in this dark forest. During the border raid, Stone was shot, and the weak Wallace was thoroughly enraged, picked up his rifle, headshot, headshot, headshot, and KO the enemies. On the roof of the courthouse, facing the criminal who killed Malone, Ness, who didn't like killing, rushed forward, pushed him downstairs, and gave him the sentence he deserved. When Ness finished the task and left, he gave Malone's relic to the qualified policeman - Stone. When he parted, he held his two hands together. Inside, there was Malone's key of justice. For a long time, life and death have united them, including justice and brotherhood.
Corruption
Al Capone, a gang leader and de facto leader of Chicago, used intimidation and inducement to play with Chicago's police system, judicial system, and administrative system. Covert operations are no longer clandestine, assassinations of squad members take place in police stations and are carried out directly by officers, and all jury members can be bribed before trial. The four men with strong bones, their opposites are not a person, not a group, but the entire corrupt system.
Sacrifice and Death
Malone, after obtaining the key information of the witness's whereabouts, despite being very careful, he was still attacked by an ambush submachine gun. His body was covered with bullet holes. There was a long trail of blood, and in the face of the overwhelmed Ness, he used the last of his strength to hand over the information, which made him regain his senses and complete his duties as Mentor. Wallace, who began to enjoy the life of an agent, was shot and killed by corrupt police officers together with witnesses in the freight elevator of the police station. His bloodstains wrote "touchable" on the wall, and at this time, the audience's impression still remained that he burst several times. In the bravery of a criminal, this contrast is unacceptable. In confronting such a system, no one else can believe, there are enemies and ambush everywhere, they are fighting alone, they are also destined to face sacrifice and death, but they choose to go forward without fear.
At the end of the film, Al Capone, a hypocrite who sheds false tears like a crocodile, rhetoric in front of the public and the media, and has blood on his hands, is convicted. Ness, who walked out of the police station with ease after completing the task, just smiled at the news that Prohibition was about to be cancelled, "I want to have a drink." For justice, the former brotherhood, the former corruption of the bureau and society, the former bloodshed and sacrifice, but he who has completed the task with a clear conscience no longer cares.
A story of justice, friendship, family, battle, bravery and sacrifice.
