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.
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)
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)
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)
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!
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...
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)
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.
Very good!! Gangster movies never fail to impress me!! The cast is fenomenal, esp. Sean Connery, the king of acting!!
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)
One of my favorites....love the cast, the story....everything! Don't mind watching it over and over again.
One of the few movies I've actually liked Kevin Costner in. And I really liked Morricone's score.
very good movie with action, blood, and all. Watch it for the thrill content..
Very cool story!
Moving when some heroes die.
Costner, Connery and De Niro r very good in it.
Interesting biopic of Al Capone and Eliott Ness, about the prohibition, in the 20's in Chicago.
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)
A great insight into American life during Prohibition and Al Capone being in control
A great cast and script which makes for a great movie. The gun fights are gruesome and realistic and the acting is superb. This film has something for everyone.
Brian De Palma?s blood soaked (I love that description) depiction of Elliot Ness? crusade against Al Capone. I?m not sure this holds up remarkably well, it certainly looks cool but I don?t think its many elements really gel together. The story is nothing overly special, Sean Co...( read more)
Enjoyable movie with great performances by Sean Connery and Kevin Costner (Andy Garcia was also bad ass too).
And I laughed during the scene at the train station because I remember the spoof from the Naked Gun movie. I didn't know where it came from when I first saw that movie.
A great prohibition/Chicago mob movie from Brian DePalma. Sean Connery is a bad ass old tough streetcop. The violence is very effective, especially the baseball bat scene. The train station scene and Battleship Potemkin homage is great.
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)
Was pretty good, not enough screen time for robert de niro though.
A gangster story with a heart. One of my all-time favourites. I love the characters and the historical aspects.
