Deniro plays Capone big a loud, "Get out, you're nothing but a lot of talk and a badge." He is the best part of the film. As Malone lays dieing, Capone is crying his way through an opera.

The British film magazine Ematinee, took a poll and determined he created the worst accent in the history of cinema for this role.įor my money Deniro deserved it. I love how he gets the gangster in the cabin to talk. His best moments are when he is kicking ass. His death scene is overwrought and overly dramatic. Brain matter, as well as blood, splatter on the wall, and Ness learns that they are in fact, touchable.Ĭonnery won the Academy Award for best supporting actor. They eventually get a witness, but Capone has him assassinated in one of the films bloodiest scenes. It does not stop Ness, and his group keeps picking at Capone's operations. What are mine? What draws my admiration? What is that which gives me joy? Baseball!" He then proceeds to make an impression on his employees. In a great showy scene, Deniro explains his dismay, "A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms. Set during prohibition, Ness and his men start taking out some bootleg operations. Wallace is the book worm who comes up with the idea to charge Capone on tax evasion. Stone is the rookie cop embarrassed that he is Italian. The perfect cast and the over the top action make this one of the best matinee films ever made.Įliot Ness leads a group of cops against Al Capone and the entire Chicago gangland. This action packed, semi-historical gore fest based on Ness's novel, is one of the greatest "guy" movies of all time. The Untouchables is one of my favorite films.
