Great cast, mediocre script, bad deliverance, and horrifying music score

Rating: 5/10 (2 April 2001)

I saw this movie when it came out. Then I saw it on the shelf in DVD format the other day and thought "Hey, I haven't seen that in a while. Heck, I don't even remember much of it." So I bought it. And I know now why I didn't remember any of it...
This movie is badly dated...and it's not that old. DePalma has a knack for making a movie seem 10 years older than it really is. The script is over the top cheese at times and at other times it's really good but the acting is over the top - except for Costner, who is simply a mediocre actor. Sorry Kevin, it's the truth - you don't make the role great, it's the other way around usually.
For the most part, The Untouchables would've been five times better except you were utterly distracted from the events taking place by the absolute worst soundtrack since Ladyhawk.
I give this movie 5 of 10, and 4 of those points are simply for some of the cinematography and for Connery.
