Connery is the star of the enjoyable film.

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2020)

First time I have seen the cough (33 year old!) film about prohibition era Chicago and I enjoyed it. Unlike some of the more clever clog reviews.
The Untouchables was originally a television series but director Brian De Palma brings a successful film adaptation.
The film focuses on the gangland warfare between gangster Al Capone (Robert De Niro) and Federal U.S. Treasury agent Eliot Ness (Kevin Costner) brought into Chicago to snare Capone.
Ness forms an 'Untouchables' police unit with an older and wise Irish-American Malone (Sean Connery) and Oscar Wallace, a young Cop George Wallace (Andy Garcia) and a federal IRS like accountant?
The film is notable for the elaborate production design. I am thinking of scenes in 1930 Chicago including street scenes with period features, a Chicago courtroom and Chicago Grand Central railway station.
A good musical score is presented by Ennio Morricone that has elements of his Once Upon A Time In The West work.
I don't usually endear to Kevin Costner's career opus in the late 1980s/1990s but he delivers a good performance here. In fact all the cast do in particular Sean Connery who won an Academy Award for this.
Al Capone is played by De Niro. Watching De Niro strutting around and smirking got me thinking. He plays the same character in a lot of his films! In particular some of his collaborations with director Martin Scorsese.
Coming in at just under two hours, perhaps the film could have been beefed up with some other scenes?
