Film Review: "The Untouchables" is a classic story that De Palma crowd can be alone because of its larger-than-life design and style of director Brian. All the features of the great mob movies are available, but are taken to a new level of style, both in the great and wonderful characterizations of crime and corruption that are created for us to see in this film. The story is a basic plot good versus evil, the characters are blacks andWhite, and the film is the battle between the two sides. In light of this simple but complex nature of this film, it's hard not to follow the fate of Eliot Ness (Kevin Costner) as he sets up and dismantling colorful Chicago gangster Al Capone (Robert De Niro), in particular from any emotions, action and moments of great character.
Eliot Ness is in Chicago to bring down Al Capone's world of organized crime in 1920 determinedProhibition-era. He succeeded at first mainly for his naivety to believe him that the local police are on his side out. Down on yourself for the lack of success, he meets old-school cop Malone (Sean Connery), the link helps you see that he must take this fight mob in one of the conditions completely different and more violent. Together they create a crack team of "Untouchables", a police officer, now can not.
The casting of the film is in the heart of what makes this film work sogood. Kevin Costner is perfect as a straight arrow Eliot Ness, provides a natural and simple good guy through his personality, slips into character very easily. Sean Connery works great as a gravitating center and mentor to Ness, who is cynical to the core, but convinced of optimism Ness' to help him fight the bad guys. Robert De Niro is clearly a lot of fun to play Al Capone, and cinema is the creation of a bad memory is so bad,You can not stop looking at him every time he appears on screen. Other players like Andy Garcia and Charles Martin Smith, from the whole group of untouchables are also excellent, he had his and his important contribution to the moments of action and character. With this character is the film's funny moments, sad, dramatic, and the increase is taken on a emotional roller coaster ride from the film that you glue to your seat until all itsabout.
When Brian De Palma, mafia film "The Untouchables" contains a series of scenes from the front, even if they are timid compared to some earlier work, De Palma. Capone's famous sequence of a bashing of his subordinates failed with a baseball bat has to go down as one of the worst mob scenes from the movie in September, and it works mainly because of its simplicity and from what we see (similar to De Palma's staging scene saw "Scarface"). Malone's death at the end ofThe film is perhaps even more shocking, not only in the way, but because we got to this character going throughout the film like to see us just down forces Ness, the exact nature of revenge do. These scenes, and more to do to some graphical display, but are just the right amount of intent does not increase excessively violent, but the drama to another level that will be made his story even more created.
"The Untouchables" is a greatMob film to transcend its genre, and provide a great history-of-life with unforgettable characters manage to bring with him his two-hour running time.
Technical Review: The video transfer is quite reasonable, even if it is considered a total of all soft texture of a clear link with striking freshness and clarity. The audio transfer is for the most part pretty well, but it never really overcome its original stereoSoundtrack and therefore lacks depth and does not exploit the environment. Overall, the transfer is reasonable for a film of this age, but could be better.
EXHIBITION EXTRAS: The extras package on this single disc DVD includes over an hour of high-quality featurettes on all the important aspects of production. The four main featurettes, the DVD release of this is mainly from conceptionthe film on its release, and a series of historical and new interviews with the cast and crew offer a great insight into the production. The battle for the charge of Robert De Niro Brian De Palma in search of a commercial success, the discovery of Kevin Costner as an actor, Sean Connery displeasure while shooting the film for his death scene with so many shots on him, and many other stories to make some interesting observation in this featurette. There is also the first sixminute special from 1987, which is more than advertising, information, and a theatrical trailer. Overall an excellent addition to the extras, the most impressive, it is a single-disc DVD edition.
CONCLUSION: Worth with collection.
