Great Movie

I owned this on VHS and loved it. I am converting to DVD and this was a must for the collection.

Better than the TV series

Expecting the The Untouchables to be a bad remake of the TV series, I was reluctant to view it. In my opinion, the movie version outshines its predecessor. Connery brings out the best in Costner, Smith, and Garcia. With Connery and De Niro's characterizations, the movie transcends the black-and-white series (on my childhood set)that deals with black-and-white issues.

A timeless film!

This film will never go out of style. It is set in such an interesting time in our history. We had just come home from Chicago where we took an "Untouchables Tour" of the City. Couldn't resist purchasing this film to put a finishing touch to our tour. It was as great as I remember when I first saw it in the theatre.

the war on drugs of another time

Organized crime has Chicago bought and paid for under Al Capone.
Police officers and judges dance to the tune of bootleg booze.
This was real life in the prohibition era where the federal law
against alcohol made the Mafia smugglers and brewers kings.
A federal task force was set up under Eliot Ness
and he was a tough as the criminals he fought.
This movie is actually a remake of a TV series from the late 50's early 60's with Robert Stack:
The Untouchables - Season 1, Vol. 1.
Like the westerns about OK Corral, what was historical fact
has tended to run into Hollywwod's glorifications.
The acting here is pretty good and all the period cars are very fine,
but one finds himself doubting the scenes and costumes after seeing a number
of films actually done at that time in black and white.
The baby buggy scene is really fantastic, in which two
treasury agents take on a whole gang of thugs and win.

The Untouchables

The story of FBI agent Eliott Ness's obsessive goal to bring down the notorious gangster Al Capone. Kevin Costner and Sean Connery are awsome. The movie had humor and tons of guns and action.I recommend this movie to everyone who really loves a great mobster movie.

In THE UNTOUCHABLES, federal agent Elliot Ness leads a group of mob fighters with the intent of taking out the infamous Al Capone in 1930's Prohibition-era Chicago. Realizing that practical methods will not work in securing Capone's capture, Ness and his men resort to using even more force in order to take down the Chicago mob boss once and for all.
