Summary: A Great Popcorn Movie
Review: And a classy popcorn movie, too, with a great cast, including Sean Connery and Robert De Niro. The story is very suspenseful and the final sequence is literally hair-raising. You won't be dissapointed.

Summary: Review and reply to : Loren from USA March 15, 2000
Review: This has been a favorite movie of mine for a many years. I think the acting was good and the plot itself was great. Loren from USA who commented on march 15th, 2000 may be hooked on the mafia stuff, but must be a wanna be that isn't going to happen. This movie never claimed to be set exactually how the mafia Untouchables were. It was the writters view of how he thought it would be. Movies are just that, movies, a chance to bring your thought, dreams, etc out exspecially if you are a well known writer. The fact is,Loren from USA, the movie was good but your such a wanna be you can't look past things that you'll never be. Your not the writer, your nothing TO the writer, and others love the movie, so get off your high horse before your knocked off it one day.

Summary: Grotesquely innacurate
Review: Ok, maybe this movie wouldnt be so bad if Kevin Kostner (or however you spell that) could act. He is absolutely horrid and emotionless in this movie. That isnt even the main problem with it. It disgusts me how innacurate this movie is. I am a Mafia buff and this movie continued to annoy me as it progressed. Here is the truth behind this event: The Untouchables were a nine man team who busted many of Capone's attempts. Did they bring him down? No. They were merely a thorn in his side while other federal agents did that. The way this movie made The Untouchables appear as the sole reason he was sent to prison annoyed me. Also, having Frank Nitti die at Ness' hands at the end was ridiculous. Nitti succeeded Capone as the Outfit leader and ended up killing himself in 1947 after a quarrel with the REAL boss Paul Ricca. If you are into reality, this movie is terrible. If you like cheap action with terrible acting, go for it!

Summary: Good, but not great
Review: The acting was fair and Sean Connery deserved the oscar he got for his part, but one could easily tell that it is violently innacurate, I am not very affiliated with this time period, but I can tell 95% is pure hollywood imagination.

Summary: Ignored or robbed?
Review: Mister de Niro has been robbed of an Academy Award that year. A great actor is capable of mesmerizing the audience even by aappearing for only fifteen minutes in a more than two hours lasting movie (remember Brando in Apocalypse now, de Niro himself in the Godfather part two or J.Nicholson in Terms of Endearment?). Throughout his long and illustrous career he has played so many monsters, but this one is undoubtfully the best of the genre. Despite a very good performance, did S.Connery really deserve the Oscar? I think it's a real shame that A.Garcia has such a small part in this movie.

Summary: Greatest movie ever made!
Review: This has to be, by far, the greatest movie that was ever created. The direction is flawless, as well as the acting. Robert DeNiro is superb as the notorious Al Capone, and Sean Connery won his well-deserved Academy Award for his role as James Malone.

Summary: That's the Chicago way
Review: Despite being an entry into mainstream cinema for de Palma, The Untouchables has the magic that his other films has. This is an exciting film in it's entirety, the mark of a great film. Connery is suprisingly good, but de Niro steals the show as usual, with a great cameo as Al Capone. The dialogue is good, with most of it given to Connery, most notably his speech to Costner's Eliot Ness, as to how Capone can be caught. The Untouchables is visually stunning, never more on show than the legendary train station scene, a homage to The Battleship Potemkin. Unlike other de Palma films, this does not need analysis; it is pure fun. A film you can watch over again. It is recommended to all.

Summary: Right up there with the godfather, might even be better
Review: movie starts out pretty slow, making you think kevin costner was a mis-cast in the movie, but then when you see him hand out the shotguns to connery, garcia and that accountent guy, you know you were in for something better then you average mobster film. the death of the hitman for capone is definately one of the coolest i've seen! i'm not saying anymore, SEE THIS MOVIE!
