deniro is the best!!!
One of the best cast in movie history in a... well... more of a comedy than anything else. Laughed more than most comedies since a lot of scenes are so horrible.
Awful score by Morricone (great main theme which doesn't fit any scene at all though just like the rest of the score).
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)
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 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.
Now this is a different genre, but he always, always gets the bad guys.
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.
A great movies with Great Actors. DeNiro, Costner, Connery, Garcia... wonderful film
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.
Robert Deniro turned this joint out with the baseball bat scene!
Go Nest!
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)
Robert De Niro as Al Capone was great I enjoy this movie to the max
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)
a great gangster film, and thats it. judging it as "based upon" story, and as a gangster film such as Godfather or Goodfellas, it is a marvelous film. because this is not supposed to be one biographic view on the true events, like some people do think.
catchy theme tune, Bobby DeNiro as legendary baddie Al Capone, Sean Connery, Andy Garcia at his prime, blood and gore, and an opera scene. perfect. it's uplifting, too...
Solid fimmaking and pretty good acting all 'round, but it still has that veneer of slickness, where emotion can't ever get a grip on the action. DiNero was outstanding.
I guess this movie entertained me.... I couldn't remember it very well from my past so I had to rewatch it! I am starting to not enjoy watching Costner ver much. All in all it is a good movie, and i recommend it if you have time to spare!
