The Movie, the Actors and Everyone Else Deserved Oscars

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2011)

I must start by warning those who don't know it that this movie is a work of fiction - but what a fiction!
"The Untouchables" is one of those great movies which, I don't know why, didn't get all the load of Oscars it certainly deserved. Awarding just one to Sean Connery is a flagrant understatement of this great achievement of all those who made it.
The sound score is brilliant and inspiring. Cinematography is at its best.
The outstanding train station shooting scene surely and eternally ranks among the top ten or top five scenes in Cinema's history. It's one of my favorites.
Costner, Connery, Garcia, Smith and, of course, De Niro deliver great performances, no exception. All the other bad guys are excellent, too.
Again, in my view only one Oscar for this masterpiece is a clear understatement. If you don't believe it, just watch "The Untouchabels" and judge it yourself.
