kinda amazing???
while we don't have many scenes focusing on deniro's portrayal of al capone, his presence and power is always felt.
how depalma is able to create tension here is imacculate and exciting.
the movie gives us a false sense of security with the main four characters until it backstabs you and shows how the film actually operates.stephen H.burum gives the camera a great sense of character in how it always seem to move closer and closer to its characters, to the point of having multiple pov shots.

Reviews
The Untouchables isn't the kind of movie I would typically be into, but Sean Connery was a real gamechanger.
