Had the potential, but failed.

Rating: 6/10 (5 August 2001)

The Untouchables seems promising enough; being directed by Brian De Palma, involving a cast that includes Kevin Costner, Robert De Niro and Sean Connery...
Unfortunately it's marred by too many totally implausible scenes that make the film almost laughable (see it yourself) and its violence quota is a bit heavy for my taste. One of the biggest mistakes is using a horribly out of place music in the bridge shootout, making the sequence a perfect turn off. The film does have spectacular appearances, however.
