Wonderful character development!

Excellent but underrated film

Excellent adaptation.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

What 'The Untouchables (1987)' does better than most pictures of the kind and time is deliver the goods when it comes to genuinely tense, suspenseful and eventually explosive action set-pieces, especially when it comes to balancing its build-ups with its pay-offs and the way in which its gritty, somewhat unrelenting bloodshed usually has tangible and lasting consequences for its characters and world. The film starts to lose its way a bit when it comes to the stuff in between, however, as a generally slow pace and slightly repetitive second act arise from the slightly subpar seeming plot. It doesn't really keep you as engaged as it perhaps should and ultimately struggles to find a balance between brash brass-tracks action and subtly political crime-drama. There's still a lot to like and admire, though, even during the moments that fail to live up to the flick's otherwise proven heights. 6/10

The number of sacrifice is so small.Just two.In contrast,the enemy lost a lot of members.I'm so grad that they crashed the spoiled family accompanied by boss.He is so bad.He has bad influence to the society to buy bear and something prohibited in this area.It refreshed me.It is good movie.

Let me begin by saying that I am a Brian de Palma fan, I very much like and appreciate his films, but this one... this one is a bad, bad joke. Kevin Costner in his toughest look matches the Ingalls and Sean Connery's Oscar for best performance in a secondary role is the most outrageous Oscar award ever. The only near-decent acting here is De Niro playing Al Capone, and I mean "near". This is the gangster's film I would have expected had it been made for an audience composed by children between 12 and 16 years old. The "gore" (and I really do not like gore in films) is so funny that I was expecting to see a forgotten can of tomato sauce at any moment. Please, don't lose your time on this one; there are better things to do in life.

The soundtrack did not fit this movie at all and completely ruined a lot of otherwise not bad scenes. I was disappointed with the 'feel good Hollywood' vibe and acting methods of a lot of the actors. Although this movie boasts some pretty renowned names (De Niro, Connery), and they did not give mediocre performances by any means, the weak and trite script coupled with their delivery style (surely the fault of the director De Palma) resulted in a piece of generic Hollywood fluff. Really the only thing saving this movie from being a complete and utter disaster, in my eyes at any rate, is the stunning cinematography and the inclusion of a few visual De Palma tricks of the trade. In the end I just feel let down, especially in light of what could have been had he opted for a more serious vibe like Carlitos Way, although The Untouchables is still ahead above The Black Dahlia- his worst film in my opinion. It's just sad when a director you hold in high esteem releases something so bland.
