Gotta respect a movie that introduces a nice little girl in the first few minutes and then immediately blows her up
Patrick WillemsJul 17, 2020Needed more De Niro and less Costner.
Matt The SnapperMay 23, 2021honestly SO silly, probably too silly for me. the Morricone score goes off too hard (loose endorsement). Andy Garcia has never been more beautiful (hard endorsement). great set pieces, generally, though perhaps no scene in the movie will live up to the pure joy of the…

Misha BeattieApr 29, 2022I watched this movie with my mom last night, she had never seen it and she loved it. I can't remember the last movie I watched with her that she made it all the way through. "So the woman with the baby at the train station had nothing to do with the bookkeeper? He just had…
Will MenakerNov 1, 2020if there's one thing certain, it's that Sean Connery and his endearingly inconsistent accents will definitely be missed

Somehow went 32 years without seeing this. Got into a long debate with my viewing companion about to what extent the movie's depiction of Eliot Ness was sincere or tongue-in-cheek, to what extent this mattered, and to what extent I was making excuses for a celebrated male…
Will SloanSep 19, 202042/100 This was pretty strange to be honest. I feel like it could’ve been so much better. With De Niro as Al Capone and a score from the legendary Ennio Morricone i thought I would really enjoy it but that unfortunately didn’t happen. The score and tone of the film…
duckFeb 16, 2024I frequently say “I’m not a De Palma guy,” which is odd because each of his films that I have seen have left such a positive impression on me. I so clearly am a De Palma guy.

- Andrew Gooder lovedThe Untouchables
A great movie by Brian De Palma that deserved much more praise than it got. Costner, Connery and De Niro all delivered amazing performances and the film was brilliantly directed. It’s a classic gangster film that I found to be incredibly well done and is worth seeing. 10/10 film!
Parker Mallars likedThe UntouchablesThis is one of the movies I’ve always heard about and just never got to watching. I’m very glad I did. Great performances from De Niro and Connery and a great musical score! Kind of a flat ending but everything leading up to it was great.
Nick Dubberly is "meh" onThe UntouchablesThis was just all kinds of ok, but nothing great. Except for De Niro the performances are very underwhelming. I don’t even know how historically accurate this is but the ending was so anticlimactic. You can safely skip this one.

Metacritic
De Palma's Untouchables, like the TV series that inspired it, depends more on cliches than on artistic invention.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Superb performances, exquisite direction and that Ennio Morricone score create an authentic 1920s Chicago feel and a hugely entertaining crime drama.
Ian Nathan
Empire
It's strange that in this somber inspection of moral fiber and what causes it to fray, De Palma couldn't have made his hero at least as interesting as his villain, and both of them at least as complicated as they were in life.
