da paura!
This is a great movie about bootlegging and Al Capone and the people who bring him in. The acting performances were good... despite Kevin Costner being in it >_>.
very good movie, connery and garcia are in fine form, costner's not
bad either, again another fine de niro performance
This movie is a classic. Robert de Niro and Sean Connery give outstanding performances. Great photography also.
You may have fooled everyone else, DePalma, but I'm on to your chicanery.
A treasury agent, accountant, veteran beat cop, and a rookie sharpshooter team up to try to bring down Capone and end his corrupt grip on 1930's Chicago. Costner and DeNiro are believable as Ness and Capone but Connery, Garcia, and Smith are nothing short of brilliant as the rema...( read more)
There's nothing extraordinary about Kevin Costner. He's a run of the line, craptacular performer. And this could have been great too, I mean it has Connery and by De Palma, responsible for the OTT awesome Scarface. As it stands it's good, but that log brings it down.
This is a brutal masterpiece of cinema. Beautifully crafted and the tension gets cranked up as the film goes on. You literally want more when the credits roll. Connery and Garcia give perfect performances and De Niro as usual is on top form, Pure classic!
have'nt seen the ending so there you go. but it seemed a good mafia action type film,
I am giving this film 4 stars because i like the actors in it and their performances were actually very good. It was a fairly good film. I disliked the music. It seemed silly and out of place and there were a few scenes in the film which were quite cheesy. I don't know whether it...( read more)
The music gives this choice a great flair. Sean Connery gives an Oscar winning performance as the seasoned Malone and Robert Deniro is perfectly cast as Al Capone. As usual Kevin Costner gives a rather too straight laced performance, but the story and supporting cast far outweigh...( read more)
Andy Garcia is awesome, great acting, memorable scenes like the stairs scene
Back in the 80's, Brian de Palma was one of the kings when it came to directing and he proves it here because this film is truly brilliant. The cinematography and directing alone is masterful and it makes you wonder where De Palma went wrong. The pacing in this film is tight, Kev...( read more)
Another gangster movie. This one was entertaining enough. The music, although epic and inspiring, really didn't seem to fit the movie. Love Sean Connery. Love Robert DeNiro.
We watched this in US history class in high school. I have always enjoyed it since then.
This movie is pretty good and the acting is strong all around. There's not much more to say about that, other than the scene on the stairs is one of the classic scenes in movie history.
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)
Kevin Costner was good as usual. De Niro as Al Capone, arguably the greatest gangster of all time, was a let-down. Would have given this 4 stars if it weren't for the ending, which lacks logic.
oh yes costner is so gorgeous and so is a very young garcia too bad the magic was broken for me when i found out costner was a married man when he made this
You can't beat a good gangster movie and this one's a true Classic. Set in the 1930's during the era of prohibition... And what a great cast with Connery, De Niro, Costner and Garcia. Loads of classic action in this one!! I love a good shoot out.
A minor 80s classic that launched the careers of numerous people involved, and re-launched Sean Connery, who turns in his best performance, if not the best performance in the film. Connery gives the film an edge, a sense of excitement, and an energy that keep it fresh. He also re...( 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)
Review will be written when/if re-watched (Probability: Low).
