Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A deeply satisfying and entertaining Prohibition gang-buster directed with a Tommy gun's rat-tat-tat.

fresh:
The Untouchables could be the breakthrough movie for Kevin Costner, a folksy, Gary Cooperish actor who holds center stage as Eliot Ness.

rotten:
Where, under his stainless-steel incorruptibility, was Ness' gnawing flaw? To Mamet and De Palma, goodness and dullness seem inseparable.

rotten:
It's an action film without much personality or drive and without enough imaginative detail to make the action gripping or meaningful.

fresh:
It goes to that place that all films aspiring to greatness must attain: the country of myth, where all the figures must be larger and more vivid than life.
