A deserved Oscar for Sean Connery

Rating: Null/10 (16 March 2000)

The Untouchables seems to be one of the best modern day gangster films, Brian DePalma style. It accounts the troubles Elliot Ness (Costner) has battling against corrupt Al Capone (played superbly by DeNiro). Sean Connery, as Malone, adds power to the film bybeing the old, experienced cop (performance that won him an Oscar). This is a great movie, the shootout in the Odessa steps is simply marvelous and Capone at the end with his line "You are nothing but a lot of talk and a badge". This is great De Palma
