The Best De Palma Film Ever

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2006)

De Palma's best work by far and my favourite film of all time. The characters are well developed and you become involved with them. this film sparked my interest in gangster movies. I saw this when I was around 1996 at Christmas time. I came in half way through and was mesmerised. The next day I bought and have been in love with it ever since, now owning it on DVD. Well worth a look for anyone who enjoys a well shot, made, cast and produced film. My favourite of Andy Garcia's characters as well. George Stone is a well developed and unique character and couldn't have been played by anyone other than Garcia. If casting the film without seeing it I would have never put Kevin Costner in the role of Elliott Ness, mainly because I think he usually comes across as a soft git. However he takes the role and makes it his own.
