4/4  Ness & Capone in at #33.
The Untouchables is a visually and emotionally compelling movie that effectively draws the viewer into the clash between Elliot Ness and Al Capone. It's unusual that this film has received so few accolades considering the number of stand-o... (read full)

3.5/4  Great shoot out film
A great shoot out film with a great performance from Sean Connery. It does not go that in depth with Eiliot NEss or the Chicago crime problems but its rather just a two sides versus film that works because the action is very well done with... (read full)

Good crime/gangster drama with a nifty musical score.

2.5/4  The Untouchables Quick Review
I wanted to like this movie but I just couldn't. I expected more from De Palma and Costner. It didn't live up to the hype. Although the story was relevant, I figured it would be more interesting than what it was. Decent.

5/5 Better than the TV series
  by Loren C. Gruber (Marshall, MO United States)
Expecting the The Untouchables to be a bad remake of the TV series, I was reluctant to view it. In my opinion, the movie version outshines its predecessor. Connery brings out the best in Costner, Smith, and Garcia. With Connery and De Niro's characterizations, the movie transcends the black-and-white series (on my childhood set)that deals with black-and-white issues.

4/5 A fun gangster movie
  by Jason Kirkfield (Rocky Mountain High)
Sean Connery? A career performance.

Andy Garcia? A glimpse of a great young actor.

Robert De Niro? A huge impact in just a few scenes.

Kevin Costner? Actually, not bad.



4/5 GRAND "HOLLYWOOD" ENTERTAINMENT!
  by ! MR. KNOW IT ALL ;-b (TRI STATE AREA)
I just had to blow the dust off of this one as it had been many years since my last viewing. I have always been a sucker for good mob movies and, The Untouchable, is no exception, but this is a film that runs hot and cold for me. For the most part it is very entertaining, but it sometimes feels like a cartoon. After watching the extras on this special edition, I did get some insight to why this probably happened as De Palma had a few flops and was looking for a box office winner! The film's tone is uneven as one minute we view someone getting their head bashed in with a baseball bat and then some of the gun battles seem to have our heroes and bad guys using rubber bullets.

I may be nitpicking here as it is a very entertaining film that is successful more often than not. The cast is very good and the direction is tight, so if you're in the mood for good old fashioned cops and robbers fair 'The Untouchables' is hard to beat. The DVD special edition holds up well with a very good transfer and plenty of extras.

5/5 Great movie
  by Willie Montgomery (Denmark,South Carolina)
The movie was great and so was the cast.Robert De Niro nailed the role as Al Capone perfectly.Sean Connery,great.I read the responses from fans of the scene in the church."If he pulls a knife you pull a gun.He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue."A great movie line.The shootout scene at the train station was great and Ness exposing corruption at all levels of the justice.The trailer of the movie is what drew me in.Kevin Costner was the right choice for the role as Eliot Ness and I want a sequel.
