The Untouchables (1987)

Genre: Drama
*ing: Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Andy Garcia and Robert De Niro

If you still haven't watched this 1987 classic ... you are really missing one of the finest American gangster movies ever centred on the notorious Al Capone ... albeit ... most of the original story of Al Capone's arrest has been fictionalised for I guess a better cinematic experience. If you don't know who was Al Capone ... boy ... you need some serious education. Brilliant performances by Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Andy Garcia, Robert De Niro and fantastic direction by Brian De Palma makes this movie a pleasure to watch. It's a somewhat fictional account of Agent Eliot Ness, played by Kevin Costner who sets out to capture Al Capone (played by Robert De Niro). Agent Ness befriends Sean Connery and ordinary beat cop serving Chicago police and how the two work out a plan to get the most elusive man in Chicago. Why should you watch this movie? Well ... it's a classic ... it's one of the best movies ever and it's evergreen ... excellent performances by some of the best actors Hollywood ever produced ... what else do you want me to say?
