Travis M @TMorg007 2d Sean Connery is fantastic in just about anything. Robert Deniro on the other hand is basically just the same in every single role he is cast in. Boring and redundant don't ya think? This movie could have been elevated to rewatch status with just a bit more time spent in casting. Kevin Costner does an adequate job, but every time Deniro is onscreen with that irritating voice and arrogant demeanor it reminds me of the last time I watched a movie with the same miserable delivery. The story is fine, the cinematography is fine; just imagine this movie with someone other than Deniro and you can feel what it might have been. Too bad, won't touch this one again.

In "Scarface" the focus is on a paranoid and self-destructive gangster who rises to meteoric heights and then falls; in "The Untouchables" the focus is on a very honest man with a noble mission, Elliot Ness (Kostner), who is prepared to do anything to clean Chicago from the corruption and mayhem caused by the notorious gangster Al Capone (De Niro). His quest is really tough, as his opponent is determined and powerful, but he has the help of three invaluable partners: Malone (Connery), a no-nonsense experienced cop, Wallace (Martin Smith), an accountant who will try to help bring tax charges against Capone, and Stone (Garcia), a great shooter. The acting is superb, and while Connery was the one who received his well-deserved Oscar, Kostner and De Niro made Oscar-class performances too.

Eliot Ness surge como o homem da lei disposto a enfrentá-lo. Mas rapidamente descobre que combater o crime não é apenas uma questão de justiça… é uma guerra contra um sistema corrompido. Ao formar um pequeno grupo incorruptível — os "intocáveis" — Ness inicia uma cruzada que vai muito além da prisão de Capone. É uma jornada de perdas, sacrifícios e escolhas morais. O objetivo final não é apenas derrubar um criminoso… mas provar que ainda existe integridade em um mundo dominado pelo medo. A narrativa é direta, mas poderosa. Não há excesso — cada cena carrega peso, cada diálogo constrói tensão. E o elenco… é simplesmente impecável. Sean Connery entrega uma atuação lendária como Malone — dura, humana e carregada de princípios. Não por acaso, rendeu o Oscar de Melhor Ator Coadjuvante. ⭐ Nota final: 10 / 10 See more Matthew J L @matthewjloller Apr 23 A film that has all the trappings of a pulpy cops and robbers story in which the good guys couldnt be more perfect and the bad guys couldnt be more evil. That is until the third act when De Palma's direction ramps up to another level and Mamet's script reveals there is far more to it than first meets the eye. See more Christian K @ckacar Mar 25 It seemingly has it all, but everything is kind of off in different ways. The actors, script, and production do not work well together. Fun last 30 minutes, Morricone hard carry.
