funny movie

Rating: Null/10 (24 July 2004)

The good thing about this movie: very funny. The bad thing: it wasn't intended to be funny. In spite of all the big names in the cast, The Untouchables is an example of big money used for a minuscule production. It is also an example of what promotion can do: a VERY BAD movie (let's not pretend that this movie is even average) becomes overnight a super-production.
Basically, The Untouchables is a movie where a nerd, a geek and a grandpa fight against well organized mafia guys. The main character is, both in this movie and in any other books I read, an average man, that acted following the orders given by political leaders of that time. He basically led, in reality, not according to the movie, a well prepared team of gunmen that finished the mafia in a short time.
Once again, do not get fooled by the movie, politicians decided that Mafia is no longer useful and they finished it. It's that simple. The Untouchables is unrealistic and the most overrated film I've ever seen.
