A very good movie but the SCORE was soooo DISTRACTING! I felt like I was watching a bad NYPD Blue episode with the overtaking Saxophone,,,it was not right...
I loved Andy Garcia! he just has that Italian air about him, sigh, it makes his soo hot! love it!.
Billy Drago is the ... ...( read more )
This is an amazing action man style look at a serious story. It rocks, almost like young guns in the 30's USA but with alot of heart and top rate acting. Costner loves himself too much as usual but Connery, De Niro and Garcia are cool in their roles, they suit them just right, al... ...( read more )
Billy Drago; awesome. I can really see me liking this a shit load more as a kid. So much shooting! So, what are you prepared to do?
David Mamet's screenplay is far from the facts, but his cunning dialogues, along with De Palma's solid narration, both emerge in a thrilling, fun, larger than life clash between good and evil, adorned by an anachronistic but superb score by Il maestro Morricone.
Great appearance... ...( read more )
Despite an absolutely stunning cast and some great scenes, this movie failed to truly astonish me. The violence was very well done, especially the Mountie's scene. Costner's character only really convinced me in his final scene with Drago. The scene on the stairs seemed somewhat ... ...( read more )
Capone: "I'm gonna tell you something. Somebody messes with me, I'm gonna mess with with him. Somebody steals from me, I'm gonna say you stole. Not talk to him for spitting on the sidewalk. Understand? Now, I have done nothing to harm these people but they are angered with me,... ...( read more )
An explosive crime drama. It's a classic cops vs criminals film. Barrels blazing action from begining to end. Kevin Costner gives a great performance. Sean Connery gives an excellent performance. Robert De Niro is marvelous. Director, Brian De Palmas masterpiece. Vintage style fu... ...( read more )
Vulgar, violent, funny and sometimes breathtakingly beautiful, great costumes, great sets, great cars, great guns, great locations...
BUT... it does not have a great script, great performances or great direction...DeNiro's scenes portraying Al Capone can be singled out as the bi... ...( read more )
Well, I just saw it again. When I was little I watched this with my dad, it was so awesome back then, but watching this now made me re-rate it lower than 4. Most of the music used in the movie was pants, and aww poo I completely forgot that Sean Connery dies on this. I remember w... ...( read more )
This does have a great script , acting , and direction.I'm sorry but Mr. Ebert was wrong on this one.This is probably the best mob movie since the godfather.It is filled with brilliant sequences of action that are just set-up pieces for the equally brilliant story.Not to mention ... ...( read more )
This movie starts off well, but ends in a freakin train wreck. It is long and drawn out, there are some scenes that are just PATHETIC attempts at being artistic. Costner, well to put it bluntly, blows in this movie. Bad.
Starts off well, but you find yourself wondering "when d... ...( read more )
The hell with it.... I like DePalma. There I said it!! He made me believe in Costner... Gotta be worth something.
Good, but somewhat cliched gangster film. The film score is sometimes beautiful but sometimes the 80sness of some sounds is too distracting.
gangster movie that comes with a charm....powerful music score...with a good actors line up...with de niro of course...cheers al capone...
Kevin Costner is one of those actors who makes hits or misses. A well diserved Hit. Look at the talent! De Niro portrayed Capone very well.
overrated! but maybe its because it saw this one 20 times when it came out and am pretty sick of it. Maybe ill revisit it in five years or more.
fun. I say this because i am a child who watch the Untouchables on Television and also learned all I could about these gangsters and lawmen. So I was delighted to see this film and find that it lived up to the TV Show and the legends. I it good watchings. Loved kevin Costner, Sea... ...( read more )
this movie rocked!! and again i dont give a shit how historically accurite it is or how bad actors ride horses, i really dont care. it was a good movie
The greatest gangster movie of all time and a Brian DePalma classic! Along with a oscar nominated score by Ennio Morricone and an oscar winning performance by screen legend, Sean Connery.
A pretty good gangster film about the Prohibition Era. This film also has some pretty good acting talents in it such as Connery and De Niro. On the other you have the talentless hack of Kevin Costner. But even he couldnt drag this film down for me.
Highly stylized and eloquently written (thanks to Mamet) with a terrific cast. Connery won his long-overdue Oscar and De Niro is unforgettable as Capone. The film is not without its flaws and it definitely has its Hollywood gloss. Still, De Palma's operatic gangster film has its ... ...( read more )
this film had all the makings of a good gangster flick, but it pales in comparison to the genuine greats. it lacked a certain element of intrigue and class, despite contributions from Connery and De Niro. Costner seems awkwardly out of place in this kind of film and was overall... ...( read more )
