Brian De Palma's Best

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2015)

This is truly a stunning gangster film based on the prohibition era of the early 20th Century of a city that 'stinks like a whorehouse at low-tide'. Four incorruptible citizens star as the men trying to bring down Al Capone. Kevin Costner and Sean Connery steal the show with their sublime performances in their best work to date. 'The Untouchables' is a great film in the fact that it combines action with a brilliantly-executed storyline. A riveting story that I recommend to all fans of gangster films. A few unnecessary scenes prevent this film from getting to an exceptional level (9.0). Albeit, one of the best films of the 20th Century without a doubt. 8.5/10
