THE GUNSHOT, for sure
" Untouchables " is extremely light and there is no Hollywood style emotional appeal. Don't expect sad soundtracks and a message of overcoming, because the film goes far beyond these parameters. The biggest ally of the plot is the passage of time and the relationships created with the passing of days/months/years.
Second, only to Francis Ford Coppola's "Godfather" trilogy, Brian de Palma's "The Untouchables" is a wonderful film, with an excellent script and exceptional performances from the entire cast: Kevin Costner, this time inspired; Andy Garcia, showing his talent; Sean Connery, in an unforgettable performance, which earned him the Oscar for supporting actor and, Robert de Niro, in a performance as always efficient, but goes beyond that, even becoming a perfect performance, in the skin of Al Capone, the great mobster, of the 1930s, in Chicago; The Untouchables is the name of the group formed by Garcia, Connery, and Costner to fight the mobsters, in particular, Al Capone; We have in the film an anthological scene in world cinema, when there is a shooting in a train station and, meanwhile, a pram, with the baby inside it, is going down the stairs, almost reaching the end of the stairs, to crash on the floor and, while Garcia and Costner are shooting at the bandits, they try to save the baby.
Brian de Palma toasts us with another wonderful film! note: ten.
