Review of The Untouchables (1987) by Jon L — 16 Jan 2010

Unfortunately, the filmmakers were not big fans of the original show nor did they stick to the TV series, however, this was a great film on its own. It has a superb cast and it was well written. The music is a strong point as well. It has a great classical soundtrack feel with hints of 30's big band.

Capone?s mannerisms really paralleled ?gangsters? of today which I found interesting. His mannerisms and attitude were nothing short of intimidating. It was refreshing to see a protagonist with such good morals go up against someone with such a selfish agenda.

This was a really great film to watch. I was glued to the screen the entire time and would recommend it to anyone who does not mind a few swears and some violence. The language and violence is not littered throughout and actually add to the plot nicely, as opposed to most movies that abuse the film watcher?s ears and eyes.
