Amazon.co.uk Review:
The DVD extras follow the adage that if one has lemons, make lemonade. This "special" edition has no commentary track, and no new input from stars Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, and Andy Garcia or writer David Mamet. Yet DVD director Laurent Bouzereau has an ace up his sleeve that makes the four new featurettes (about 50 minutes of content) worth listening to: candid talk. The usual, stiff promotional take is jettisoned as producer Art Linson and director Brian De Palma honestly talk about the film's origins, the tricks of shooting, and the casting of Robert De Niro. These refreshing comments (plus insight from the cinematographer Stephen H. Burum and actor Charles Martin Smith), and better-than-average vintage interviews makes for valuable watching--even if the footage is intercut too often with film clips. To top it all off, there's a new Dolby Digital 5.1 EX soundtrack. --Doug Thomas

- We can never forget the absolute vanity of the cause
The film came long after the 1960s series and it was able to improve the discourse a lot from pure police and gangster violence and counter violence and counter counter violence to some kind of calmer and sounder vision of prohibition. The least we can say is the whole case was absurd. Absurd because prohibition was an idiotic policy and in 1931 it was on the very verge of being abrogated, nullified and voided. Absurd because they could never get Al Capone for his crimes since he never did anything ... Read More
Rating: - "That's the Chicago Way!"
Brian De Palma's depiction of Probition-era Chicago is a masterpiece of modern film-making, with Eliot Ness (Kevin Costner) and Al Capone (Robert De Niro) fighting it out for control of the city. Malone (played by Sean Connery) is a cop who teaches Ness how to get the seemingly "untouchable" mob boss, and the film (with dramatic and often violent scenes) chronicles the demise of the legendary gangster. Sean Connery received an Oscar (Best Supporting Actor) for his efforts, which is testament to the ... Read More
Rating: - Brilliantly Made, But Not A Classic
I watched this film for the first time today, oblivious as to what it was about and only interested in it because of the rave reviews I'd heard. Well, it definatley wasn't what I ewas expecting, but it was very good none the less. Set in the 1930s when alchohol was illegal in the US, Al Capone is the Crime Lord trading the stuff for masses of money, and Eliot Ness, the federal Agent who is determined to bring him down. I wasn't particularly blown away by any of the acting, I guess Kevin Costner as Eliot ... Read More
Rating: - QUITE LITERALLY 'UNTOUCHABLE'
Director Brian Da Palmer's 1987 gangster epic made a star out of Kevin Costner (still one of his finest performances) and gifted Sean Connery the best role of his later career. It's an immaculate 30's set crime thriller as Elliot Ness (Costner) and his band of Untouchables go up against Robert De Niro's magnificently evil and slimy baseball bat weilding mobster Al Capone.
The dialogue is flab free and the movie is full of great action sequences including the iconic and often pastiched 'baby/steps/Grand ... Read More
