  • February 23, 2009
    i saw about 1/2 this movie late 1 night, and i liked what i saw.
  • February 13, 2009
    A nice little mafioso story with a nice bit of story but it lacks the same feeling you would get with the Godfather.
  • February 11, 2009
    whao, this is the film
  • February 11, 2009
    Very well acted and enjoyable film about an interesting subject
  • February 7, 2009
    You might think this is a better movie than 3.5 stars... but watch it again and pay attention to the acting and dialogue.
  • February 2, 2009
    A True Crime style classic up there with The Godfathers and Goodfellas pits Elliot Ness (Kevin Costner) against Al Capone (DeNiro) and his gang in 30s era prohibition.The Cast is outstanding,Sean Connery is awesome as a fellow cop joined in with Ness's crusade.Violent well acted ...( read more)great story.

    The Untouchables is a gangster movie from the view of the cops. The central character is Eliot Ness(Kevin Costner) an agent as loyal to the law as it gets who tries to put Al Capone(De Niro) behind bars. The gangster genre has seen better movies but this one came close to being a...( read more) masterpiece. While the direction and acting in general is very good to excellent there are some moments where the movie fails. To be exact Kevin Costners character fails for nearly the whole movie. While he tries his best (Cosner not the character) this character should have been in a kids cop movie. Only when he kills Drago does he really belong in this movie. In addition there were some plot holes as to where Malone(Connery) got his information for example. That being said DeNiro and Connery really delivered with Garcia and Smith supporting nicely. Also the direction was beatiful with the Connery murder, mounty and stairs scenes stand out. Last but not least the movie is beatifuly scored by Ennio Morricone.

    Lucky for Costner he's got as good a supporting cast as you can have.
  • January 28, 2009
    "If Capone Puts One Of Your's In The Hospital, You Put One Of His In The Morgue"

    Surely it's an entertaining piece of work, however under no circunstance should one associate this motion picture to the real decline of the mafia Legend, Al Capone.

    An Untouchable MOB hit.
    Easy fave.
  • January 25, 2009
    Childhood favourite of both myself and my sister.
  • January 23, 2009
    Film jest fajny i moglby trwac o godzine dluzej (wiecej de Niro).
  • January 22, 2009
    GREAT MOVIE - GREAT CAST
  • January 18, 2009
    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?
  • January 18, 2009
    Gran film stampo gangster con un buon Kostner, un ottimo Garcia, e uno splendido De Niro (cosa a cui siamo spesso abituati). Ricco di momenti memorabili come "sei tutto chiacchiere e distintivo" o la sparatoria alla stazione dei treni! Da vedere assolutamente!
  • January 15, 2009
    This star-studded gangster film potrays the story of America's most notorious Mob vs Feds stories of Elliot Ness and Al Capone. Acting giants Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Robert DeNiro, and Andy Garcia show us the historical action filled story of this epic mobster tale.
  • January 14, 2009
    I adore this film, it's just brilliant
  • January 14, 2009
    This is one of the "very well done job" movies. Makes you feel good at such a complete and beautiful movie. Of course, the bevy of brilliant actors on display just make you want to look at the screen in one uninterrupted chain of awe.

    I have one major grouch though. This movie s...( read more)hould have had sequels. It just doesn't feel enough.
  • January 12, 2009
    Of all the mob movies I've watched recently, this is easily the worst. It's like if Disney made a gangster film - melodramatic, occasionally cartoonish and without a hint of emotional edge or believability. Kevin Costner never once successfully comes off as a badass and the final...( read more) court scene (among others) is so patently absurd that its laughable. I suppose the photography was interesting in places, but seriously, Brian DePalma sucks.
  • January 10, 2009
    Good film, incredible cast, but the musics were bad....
  • January 6, 2009
    good action and story
  • January 1, 2009
    What excellent potential this had. The problem for me was the extreme awkwardness of the musical score combined with moments of corny dialougue. Other than that, and some issues with film direction, this movie could have been one of my favourites. I am a huge fan of mob movies an...( read more)d I appreciate the story and the timeing of violent, meaningful and extrmely intense scenes; this is why I still gave it a good rating. Fix the musical score, and this would have easily been a 4.5, and would have been on my favourite list
  • December 30, 2008
    The only film ever to come close to the Godfather! Very enjoyable, complex characters and quite some blood set the mood of this great film! Also Ennio Moricone's soundtrack is an all-time classic!
  • December 29, 2008
    This was a good movie. Everybody does there thing the way they should. I would probably have give it 4 stars if I had watched it at another time. It just wasn't the right time to see it...
  • December 28, 2008
    Really cool Odessa staircase scene inspired from Battleship Potemkin
  • December 27, 2008
    There is probably not much to say about this movie that hasn't been said before.
    Like many other gangster films, this is fantastic, full of action, excitement and entertainment.
    Robert De Niro seems to had been born to be Al Capone, or some other mob member.
    Andy Garcia, on th...( read more)e other hand, can be on both sides with the same gesture on his face.
    Kevin Costner is a perfect "good guy", and his last line is just brillant:
    "Scoop: Word is they're going to repeal Prohibition. What'll you do then?
    Ness: I think I'll have a drink. "
  • December 15, 2008
    You're mucking with a "G"..
  • December 14, 2008
    some corny moments (with overused music), but overall awesome
  • December 8, 2008
    A good one....Connery, Costner, Garcia, DeNiro and DePalma
  • December 3, 2008
    yeaah ! good old times when Kevin was ruling !
  • November 29, 2008
    It's always fun to make fun of Kevin Costner.
  • November 26, 2008
    briiliant!! what a cast, kevin and sean together brill.
  • November 25, 2008
    Very good movie, Set in the Time of Al Capone and Elliot Ness with his gang of "Untouchables" this movie will almost put you right in the middle of the action of that era.
  • November 20, 2008
    Very good!! Gangster movies never fail to impress me!! The cast is fenomenal, esp. Sean Connery, the king of acting!!
  • November 17, 2008
    Always entertaining.
  • November 12, 2008
    Very entertaining look to the prohibition era. Good blend of humor and suspence that allows the audience to easily follow the story. Connery's performance wasn't as overrated as people claim. De Niro gives a good performance, but not matching his previous intense portayals. Anoth...( read more)er good quality of the film is the great scenes that help carry the movie and make it all the more interesting.
  • November 7, 2008
    One of my favorites....love the cast, the story....everything! Don't mind watching it over and over again.
  • November 6, 2008
    the best of the great gangster films.
  • October 28, 2008
    One of the few movies I've actually liked Kevin Costner in. And I really liked Morricone's score.
  • October 26, 2008
    HERE END OF THE LESSON....
  • October 24, 2008
