An Entertaining Film!

Rating: 7/10 (7 April 2011)

Brian De Palma's 'The Untouchables' is An Entertaining Film, that offers some really gripping moments. The film also boasts some well-crafted performances, that only play as a advantage.
'The Untouchables' is an autobiographical account on the efforts to bring justice during the Prohibition era. It's a Violent/Gruesome Battle between the Good and the Evil.
David Mamet's Adapted Screenplay offers some truly gripping moments. But, I'd like to point out, that, Bobby De Niro's character, who plays the main antagonist here, gets very limited scope. He is reduced into a tiny role, and thus, the impact of a menace is missing. An important character such as this, deserved more footage.
Brain De Palma's direction is stylish. Cinematography is absolutely perfect. The Action-Sequences are superb. Editing is fine.
Performance-Wise: Kevin Costner is excellent. He holds the film. Bobby De Niro doesn't get much scope. Sean Connery shines in an Oscar-winning role, while Andy García is effective. Charles Martin Smith does well. Patricia Clarkson is impressive in a brief role. Others offer good support.
On the whole, A Memorable Action Crime-Drama. Check it out.
