A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Somehow, I just got around to this film after over thirty years. Kevin Costner plays the federal agent Elliot Ness. He pursues Al Capone during Prohibition. His main partner is Sean Connery as a Beat cop in 1930 Chicago. Robert DeNiro is Capone and all three are great. Connery won an Oscar. Ironically, it was tax evasion that was Capone's downfall. This is not a spoiler, as everyone knows the old story. Even so, the Untouchables is a violent and funny adventure. The script is precise and Brian DePalma's direction is as good as expected; never a dull moment. The two hours just flies by.

The UntouchablesThere are some nail biting sequences created that leaves you with an awe but for the rest of the feature the character link and the world portrayed is weak contrary to its premise. Brian De Palma chews off too much for his characters that sometimes comes off as a bit slow and downer for the audience especially when the script is wafer thin. Kevin Costner; as the protagonist is convincing but the real game changers are the supporting cast i.e. Sean Connery and Robert De Niro. The Untouchables; being of course a character driven feature, doesn't seek attention especially in its first half that is barely standing on any grounds and is fortunately saved by the second half where things get brutal, up close and personal offering the perfect amount of drama that was essential all along.

Fails to leave an impression I decided to see this movie on the basis of powerful starcast, the first act of de niro promises it of a great movie and thats when I tried to stick to it . Following this was kevin costener, and I thought It will be a great watch and so all I could do was just to wait for that buidup and something creative, but as the movie progress it only unfolds series of clichés and boredom. Story is ordinary, and I think that this is the major setback. I am writing this review after a day and all I can say about this is an average below expectation movie.
