The best film of 87' and one of the greatest crime films ever

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2006)

The Untouchables is about Elliot Ness and his team of three mob fighters who vow down to catch millionaire kingpin Al Capone in the early 30's. This is a fictional tale of the story that really happened. Most of the names are correct but most of the events that took place in the movie are not true. But that doesn't mean it is still not a highly enjoyable film. The Untouchables is excellent with a great choice of casting and a terrific performance by Sean Connery as Jim Malone, which earned him an Oscar for his work. Scarface director Brian De Palma directed at his best once again and made this extremely enjoyable. The music by Ennio Morricone who did great work on Once Upon A Time in America, did another fabulous job, which earned him an Oscar also. Overall, this is the best film of 1987 and possibly one of the greatest crime films ever made. I highly recommend it.
