Connery and De Niro dominate

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2004)

This is a very good movie despite a few cheesy moments. Kevin Costner is not a good actor. He is better when surrounded by powerhouse performances by actors. For example, he is better with Connery. First things first, the acting is good all-around. Connery won an Oscar and it was well-deserved.
He brought fire to the movie. So did De Niro's portrayal of Al Capone. Garcia is good in his brief screen time. Patricia Clarkson isn't given much to do besides smile and look goofy.
Despite that, this is a very good movie. Well-directed by DePalma and well-scripted by Mamet.
8/10 for the gangster epic.
