Solid gangster flick from De Palma

Rating: 7/10 (11 April 2019)

The Untouchables (1987) is a solid gangster film despite its often simplistic and clichéd take on the genre. It's entertaining, boasts a solid cast and succeeds in showing the grittiness of the Prohibition Era.
For me, these were the standout moments of the film:

The stairway shootout - probably the best scene in the film.
De Niro's take on Al Capone - though I wish he was given a little more screen time and the audience was given a little more insight into the character.
A beautiful musical score from the legendary Ennio Morricone.
