ReportSynopsis
Young Treasury Agent Elliot Ness arrives in Chicago and is determined to take down Al Capone, but it's not going to be easy because Capone has the police in his pocket. Ness meets Jimmy Malone, a veteran patrolman and probably the most honorable one on the force. He asks Malone to help him get Capone, but Malone warns him that if he goes after Capone, he is going to war.

There are several horses involved in a shoot-out, but not a single one is harmed or killed. In fact, the horses don’t even seem to be bothered by the shooting.

Al Capone is seen being shaved, and his face is nicked, resulting in a little blood seen.

Well, it’s a gangster movie so people are going to be killed. But there aren’t any graphic shots of broken bones. You just assume that bones are broken when someone falls off a building.

Yes, but you don’t see brains or anything. A guy flops over on a table after getting hit in the head with a baseball bat, and then you see blood flowing out from under him.

In the opening scene, a barber is shaving a customer with a straight razor. He accidentally cuts him, and blood is seen on his cheek.

The narrative is "a few good cops can undo the damage of many bad ones", but the 'good cops' still do a lot of bad cop things, they're just excused by the narrative because they have good motives, which is a central plank of copaganda. There are multiple instances of the heroes abusing due process and being excused by the narrative, e.g. raiding a building without a warrant, and when one of the people in the building asks if they have a warrant, saying "Here's my warrant" and hitting him

A wife discretely makes a comment inviting her husband to brush her hair. A main character makes a comment describing an attractive woman walking as "much more diverting than accounting." In other words the sexual content is no more than inuendoes.

Headshot that leaves place drenched in blood and gore, many other not-as-graphic shootings. A man is bludgeoned to death mostly off camera, with blood splattering, and subsequent sight of his body with a graphic head wound and lots of blood.
