The 'pram on the staircase' scene was a nice tribute to Sergei M. Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin t...( read more)

August 2, 2009It's really a bit of send-up of the events surrounding Capone and Eliot Ness all done in the name of heroism, but it's still a great film. Nasty at times (with an unforgettably intimidating Niro wielding a baseball bat in ways no man should during lunch), comedic at others (the t...( read more)

July 9, 2009Eliot Ness is a personal hero of mine. He couldn't be bought, he was all for upholding justice, he had principles. OK, his life outside of work isn't so inspiring but as an officer of the law, he was someone to look up to.
While this film takes a lot of dramatic license, if you l...( read more) -

November 16, 2009Brian DePalma is a master, and this is a really wonderful example. The Untouchables is a really great look into the era of the rise of gangsters in America. Fantastic acting on the parts of Sean Connery, Andy Garcia and Robert De Niro makes for a really great movie.

January 19, 2009Hated the Godfather films. This is the best. Great cast, great dialogue, you mess with him, you put him in the morgue,etc. Love it.

May 23, 2008Brian DePalma can't direct!?! Kevein Costener can't act!?! Let me set the record straight Communist manifesto. Brian DePalma has done many classics, including this, and, although this is the only Kevin Costner film I have seen, he did a pretty damned good job. I'd like to see you act, or would fail be a more appopriate word?

March 27, 2007I don't care what everyone says about the Godfather, this is the best gangster movie ever made. It's great fun with a gripping story and ubforgettable characters. Few movies capture hollywood magic like this one does.
