Synopsis

Brian De Palma's The Untouchables is a must-see masterpiece - glorious, fierce, larger-than-life depiction of the mob warlord who ruled Prohibition-era Chicago... and the law enforcer who vowed to bring him down. This classic confrontation between good and evil and stars Kevin Costner as federal agent Eliot Ness, Robert De Niro as gangland kingpin Al Capone and Sean Connery as Malone, the cop who teaches Ness how to beat the mob: shoot fast and shoot first.

don't take it too seriously

This movie is a shameless piece of entertainment. It doesn't succeed as a drama and it isn't even the best action movie I've ever seen. There are some great scenes.There are plenty of other good lines. Mainly this is a comic look at gangsters. It was based on a kids show for crying out loud. The characters are little more then caricatures. So what! Unlike other gangster flicks, we identify with the good honest Ness instead of the Deniro character. At the end however he sacrifices his moral integrity by commiting murder. Oh well, you weren't expecting it were you? Uneccessary maybe but its just a movie. we pay to see the bad guy get it in the end. Freudian catharsis and all that. However, I think some of the violence was completely unnecessary. Forget the historical inaccuracies. What you have is some of the greatest actors having a field day with their material.
