"THAT's the Chicago way!"

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2015)

far and away my favorite De Palma film, "The Untouchables" remains one of the great gangster/corruption movies. I can't imagine it hews all that closely to historical fact, but it makes for great entertainment; exciting when the heroes make gains, heartbreaking when they suffer (horrific) losses. There's some nice camera work in this movie and the train station scene is a masterclass on unbearable suspense. And even though Costner fits well in the noble crusader role, it's Connery who really steals the movie. Seriously, he's on fire here. And all of this works in utter spite of that awful score.
Great movie.
8/10
