Powerful, moving, compelling

Rating: 9/10 (11 March 2016)

Whilst I don't agree with all of David Mamet's politics, but he wrote an excellent movie. I love The Untouchables and David Manet's poetry underscores the lines throughout the movie.
Sure there was violence, but it was operatic nonetheless and in the context of good vs. evil in the prohibition era.
The pram scene on the railway station tracks was amazing and suspenseful. You wondered if the baby would survive. I know it was based on Battleship Potemkin, and wow, it was well shot. I'd love to see on the DVD extras the technical aspects of this filming. All credit to the editor also.
