A stylish take on a true story.

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2009)

Though I cannot vouch for its historical authenticity i can say this; THE UNTOUCHABLES is a great watch. If your at home or at blockbuster do not hesitate and watch/rent this film. Though there have been different responses to this movie i can say that i liked it. Robert De Niro is beautifully sinister as real life bad guy Al Capone and Sean Connery is at his Oscar Winning peak as beat cop Jimmy Malone. Though Kevin Costner is good he is a bit flat as main character Elliot Ness.
Now that we've gotten all that actor stuff out of the way... I cannot say all of this happened i do know that the basic skeleton of the story is true. Treasurey Officer Elliot Ness did compile a special task force to take down bootlegging gang lord Al Capone. Brian DePalma doesn't hesitate to show off his directing talent. He beautifully captures the city of Chicago in all its madness and glory of the 1930s. This is a flashy, bodacious, colorful, and inspiring movie. It gets an A in my book.
