A violent,thrilling and touching saga during the 1930's Chicago, led by the master DePalma and played to perfection by Sean Connery!

Rating: Null/10 (3 May 1999)

Elliot Ness (Kevin Costner) is a fearless and determined man, who decides to begin a private war without truce against the illegal drunk distribution practiced by Al Capone's organization (interpreted with excellence by Robert De Niro). Counting on few, but courageous men at his side, including a veteran and violent policeman, Malone (Sean Connery, delivering the best acting of his career and 1987's Academy Award Winner for best supporting actor). "The Untouchables" was filmed with exuberance and talent by film director Brian DePalma. Agile and full of action, "The Untouchables" shines and thrills, be through its rhythm, be through its performances.Connery and De Niro transform the film in a memorable show, a faithful picture of the 1930's Chicago, a study on the Mafia and about the personality and the men's who decided to challenge it interior motivation, taking a risk and challenging all the dangers. Pretty and dramatic music, detailed picture and rebuilding of time and an experienced and vigorous direction consecrates "The Untouchables" as a classic, in spite of being excessively violent. The death of Malone, who is killed by a gangster who strafes him copiously, is frightening and shocking and when Ness holds his hand and promises revenge, we felt that the action will begin. "Your friend died like an Irish pig, you think on that when the jury acquits me...", the murderer of Malone comments, happy and cynic, for Ness. Costner catches him and pulls him of the top of a building, the man drops over a car and squashes the head: at this time, Ness and DePalma show that nobody is above the law, and that the action will begin!!"The Untouchables" i rated for extreme violence and language.The cast: Kevin Costner, Robert De Niro, Andy Garcia, Charles Martin Smith and Sean Connery.
