They don't make them like these any more.

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2006)

Nearly 20 years after its release, The Untouchables remains the best TV-to-movie adaption ever made as well as one of the best films ever. This movie has it all: first-rate direction by Brian DePalma, an outstanding script by David Mamet (who also wrote the screenplay for Glengarry Glen Ross), superb music by Ennio Morricone, awesome cinematography by Stephen H. Burum and terrific acting by three Academy Award winners (Kevin Costner, Robert DeNiro and Seam Connery; who won BSA for his role).
Even after repeated viewings, the film is still just as tense and enjoyable and you're always looking for new things that you missed in earlier viewings as the detail to attention is spectacular. They have the 1930's down to a T. Even the costumes are stellar as everyone is dressed to the nines. This is one of the best films ever made. Highly recommended. Forget about NBA players dressing gangsta, dressing gangster is cooler.
