Young Treasury Agent Eliot Ness arrives in Chicago and is determined to take down Al Capone, but it's not going to be easy because Capone has the police in his pocket. Ness meets Jim Malone, a veteran patrolman and probably the most honorable one on the force. He asks Malone to help him get Capone, but Malone warns him that if he goes after Capone, he is going to war.

One of the best history and crime films. All of the actings are great. [spoiler]I really felt sad when one of Al Capone's cops killed Oscar Wallace. I really scared that one of Al Capone's men will kill Eliot Ness' wife and daughter, but this didn't happen. [/spoiler]

Classics never betray you! I know the actuality is not so easy in fact, and I know this is entertainment, but I love this kind of show really. Everyone may be out of fashion nowadays but they are still cool to me.

Great movie. Eventhough it’s so over the top and some-what comical. When Ness’ team takes on bad guys in one scene. That you don’t expect the film to take such a violent and dark turn. When his team members start to be violently taken out.

Maybe if i watched it in the 90's i would have appreciated it a little more. The fact that it escaped me so long i think makes even my consumption biased. I thought it was too cheesy to truly appreciate. I think i've been spoiled by the rawness of Boardwalk Empire for movies set in this era.

One of the best mafia movies, loosely based on true events in the prohibition era. Great, exciting crime thriller, great acting, cinematography and music. Good performances by Sean Connery, Robert De Niro and rest of the cast.

I remembered this as one of the excellent, classic mob movies, but I found that it really didn't age well. Even though the plot makes precious little sense in so many places, it still somehow manages to often feel predictable. It sure produced some unforgettable scenes – who wouldn't remember the More

Howard Hawks defined a great film as “three good scenes and no bad ones.” The Untouchables has one of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema, and not just because it’s patterned after the best known scene in Battleship Potemkin; this has actually become iconic in its own right.

Never stop fighting till the fight is done, here endeth the lesson.

As good a gangster movie that has ever been made as DePalma does justice to Mamet's electric script. The acting on show is right out of the top draw, the inevitable ease that DeNiro puts menace into Capone is quite impressive, wh More
