Great Mafia Movie (SPOILERS)

Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2007)

SPOILERS
It is not the best mafia movie out there, but it still a great example of a Brian De Palma movie. Although it does not stick too close to the facts it is still great. I mean, in real life Eliot Ness never threw Frank Nitti off the building, he actually committed suicide. The acting in this film is some solid acting. Sean Connery's acting is fantastic, and Kevin Costner has his moments. I do not know why people say that the music in this film is horrible. It is great. Sure, at some scenes the music does not fit in but overall it is great.
Here is the plot of this movie. A man named Eliot Ness is after Al Capone. After an embarrassing confrontation with umbrellas Ness gets Jim Malone, Oscar Wallace, and George Stone to help him take down Capone. They become the Untouchables. Then, Capone's hit-man named Frank Nitti threatens Ness's family. He gets the family out of town. Then, Wallace is killed. One Untouchable down. Then, Malone is brutally killed. Two down. Capone is eventually brought to court. Ness then kills Nitti. In the end Capone is finally arrested and sentenced to eleven years in prison.
Overall, this is a pretty good mafia movie. It had good acting and had a great real-life story that could be turned into a movie. I also thought that the scene at the train station steps when Ness helps a mother with her baby and then Capone's men come and their is a shootout but Stone saves the baby is a brilliant scene. Also, the death scene of Malone and Wallace are fantastic and depressing. Both scenes had some of the most saddest music that I have ever heard. Anyway, this is a terrific film that any fan of a good mafia movie will enjoy.
9/10
