Review of The Untouchables (1987) by Sherri D — 15 Apr 2012
What The Untouchables lacks in substance, it makes up for in style. Any gangster film that pays homage to Leone and Eisenstein is okay in my book. Once the story starts moving, it thunders along at a ridiculous pace, full of violence and excitement.
The Untouchables isn't historically accurate or incredibly smart, but it's fun and stylish, and Robert de Niro-who steals every scene he's in-is the definitive Al Capone. Oh, and the score, from frequent Leone collaborator Ennio Morricione, is phenomenal.
