Summary: Old school Hollywood melodrama

"The Untouchables" tells the tale of G-man Elliott Ness' campaign to unseat Chicago mob boss Al Capone (circa 1930's). Given the Hollywood clout behind this flick (De Palma, Mamet, etc.), the film is surprisingly lackluster and fraught with overacting, staginess, some hokey scripting, and fictionalizations. Nonetheless, "The Untouchables" will make an entertaining couch potato watch for those looking for no-brainer gangland melodrama. (C+)

Note - Connery garnered both a globe and an Oscar for his role which didn't involve any special tests of his abilities. Go figure.
