Roger Corman went back to the gangster well a few times in the 1990s - Dillinger and Capone and this, which is about Baby Face but also features Dillinger (Martin Kove) and Capone (F Murray Abraham).
The budget isn't big but is big enough to cover period clothes and extras. The script is full of cliches but that's not fatal.
What kills this is C. Thomas Howell's hilarious attempts to play a Chicago tough guy. It really is something.
Lisa Zane is the girl.
