Additional InformationKevin Costner is idealistic federal agent Eliot Ness, whose assignment to clean up Prohibition-era Chicago leads to violence and manly questions about upholding the law. Initially powerless to stop the flow of booze into the city (the police force is corrupt and everyone in town seems to be on the mob's payroll), Ness finds guidance from an older streetwise cop (Sean Connery, who won an Academy Award for this role) who convinces him he'll need to break some rules if he wants to bring down head mobster Al Capone (Robert De Niro). Andy Garcia and Charles Martin Smith play Ness's other recruits, who together must stand tall against a city full of assassins. Director Brian De Palma (MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE) packs the film with violence and creative camera movements while David Mamet's intelligent script capably dodges cliche at every turn. There's a real sense of what's at stake for these characters on a personal level, which contrasts nicely with the futility inherent in enforcing Prohibition in the first place. The film is based on the autobiographical book by Ness (cowritten with Oscar Fraley) and the 1959-63 TV series; Ennio Morricone (THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY) composed the uninhibitedly bombastic score.
ReviewsNew York Times - Included in the New York Times "10 Best Films of 1987", Variety - ...A beautifully crafted portrait of Prohibition-era Chicago....Propelled by scripter David Mamet's rich dialog, Connery delivers one of his finest performances ever. It is filled with nuance, humor and abundant self-confidence...

Great film, a must have. If you don't like this movie. Go and have a cry whilst watching Twilight.
Untouchables is an awesome film. Made back in the days (1987) when films had to be good, with a great cast and a director who's vision has resulted in a captivating movie which pulls the viewer into the prohibition era. Morricone's scores are also a touch of class which heighten the enjoyment of this great movie The Untouchables is right up there with other quality made films such as the Godfather trilogy, The Great Escape and Saving Private Ryan. .Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
