n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Somehow, I just got around to this film after over thirty years. Kevin Costner plays the federal agent Elliot Ness. He pursues Al Capone during Prohibition. His main partner is Sean Connery as a Beat cop in 1930 Chicago. Robert DeNiro is Capone and all three are great. Connery won an Oscar. Ironically, it was tax evasion that was Capone's downfall. This is not a spoiler, as everyone knows the old story. Even so, the Untouchables is a violent and funny adventure. The script is precise and Brian DePalma's direction is as good as expected; never a dull moment. The two hours just flies by.

The biggest issue I have with this movie, short of Kevin Costner's cardboard uninspired performance, is the lack of urgency in scenes that demand it, the overly long awkward pause, the slow trot as you are supposed to be running, sitting behind the cabin having a long conversation as the royal Mounties make an unwanted attack, it just seems everyone is far too casual and laded back, even in the face of death, nothing seems to get more than a brief notice. Overall a mediocre film that could of been epic, but the direction was no where to be found, I would guess many of these scenes were one take, because no one cared

The plot's pretty good, the staircase scene near the end with Costner & Garcia is one of my favourite in cinematic history, but what sets this apart is the screen enormous presence of DeNiro and Connery being DeNiro-ish and Connery-ish, Costner being well-cast, Garcia's semi-controlled brashness, and Charles Martin Smith's curiously lovable role. All that with the backdrop of some of Ennio Morricone's finest soundtrack-writing. It's a gut-wrencher every time I watch it.

Robert D have no need to introduction and all the past mafia movies of him always loved by public, but acting of him is so very overly mistaken by director. this movie have a very good story but the director and lead actors don't act on their best class acting. Robert look just like cow dung in this bald look and the other character also didn't have charm. only final verdict of mine is this....if you expecting a classic mafia movie then STAY AWAY from this movie.
