Slightly Impressive Mob Film

Rating: 7/10 (15 January 2013)

The Untouchables are very touchable actually in both the film and the movie itself. It's your average cops gone rouge to fight the mob story we've seen but with bonuses.
Plot is simple. It's 1920's Chicago, and the mob is running wild. Al Capone runs the city and pays off the cops. Enter Agent Eliot Ness, who is sent to stop the crime wave with the help of some cops who are incorruptible.
This film does some things right. First, I love Sean Connery as Malone. It's a good performance from a talented actor. Kevin Costner is average in his performance. Same with De Niro, which is disappointing considering his other performances in mafia/mob films like Once upon a Time in America and The Godfather Pt. 2. Also Andy Garcia was nice in his role too. The Music is overall to stylized to the 80's and disrupts the mood of the movie and some of the scenes just feel too much at times.
Overall good but very unimpressive mob film. The performances are average( except for good old Sean) and music and stunts feel cheesy. Close to a 6 for me but I'll be nice. Hell, I'll be generous.
7/10
