Like it!...

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2012)

All the performance are excellent, I think Sean Connery got an Oscar for his portrayal of Malone. I thought Robert De Niro was particularly good as Capone and Kevin Costner did a very decent job as Ness. I hadn't realised that the score was written by Ennio Morricone, and now I know that I also know why I like it so much. The film itself is very well made with some quite memorable set pieces and some nicely phrased dialogue. It's quite an adventure although I'm not entirely sure about its historical accuracy. As a piece of entertainment though, it does a very good job and I found it well worth a viewing.
SteelMonster's verdict: RECOMMENDED
My score: 8.0/10
