The critics and public agree.
Some movies don t get much respect during their initial runs but they gain favor as the years pass.
Into this category falls Brian De Palma s The Untouchables . I won t quibble with that interpretation. It s not quite a great film, but it was largely quite well-done. With this group in tow, Ness starts to clean up the town. Capone remains his white whale, however, and Ness, et al, spend most of the film in pursuit of him.
