An all-time classic

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2007)

This is one of my all-time favourites and without a doubt Kevin Costner's best performance in a film. Based on the real-life story of the dangerous gangster Al Capone, it follows Treasurer Eliot Ness and his battle to outwit Capone's organisation from breaking the law of Prohibition - which had been set up to prevent the sale of alcohol - by selling illegal alcohol.
A fantastic supporting cast led by an Oscar winning performance from Sean Connery and memorable scenes make this film a classic in its own right.
I give this film a 10/10 rating. If you like films based on historical facts, violence, comedy and generally a well-written story, then The Untouchables is the film for you.
