Hey guys, here is my "The Untouchables" reaction. This won the championship round of our investigation/detective poll by 1% over Usual Suspects (that one is on my calendar too).  I really enjoyed this, didn't know who Al Capone was at first, but I sure won't forget Robert De Niro's smug face and his portrayal of him. I loved my man KC in this, and Sean Connery was <3 <3 <3!!!  Hope you enjoy :) #Wallace4eva

As for his son being born and her not being pregnant in the beginning, the real timeline of this was the beginning was March of 1930, when they got Capones ledger )the Canadian raid) it was a year later. But this is very loosely based on Ness/Capone stories I say that plural cause even though Ness did go after Capone, it was two others that were able to get Capone on tax evasion. . Should watch Kevin Costner in his westerns. Silverado and Open Range. He was really young in Silverado and funny.

Robert De Niro is known for Raging Bull, Taxi Driver and The Deer Hunter outside of Meet the Parents

Most people would disagree but you should watch The Postman.

I saw TUs when it first came out in theaters. It was early in Costner's career. It was probably his first lead . He was in probably a dozen movies prior to this, his biggest part in Silverado. The UTs story has a few historical points, but is largely Hollywood. The movie was inspired by a 60s TV show by the same name starring Robert Stack whom Cassie will know from Airplane. (Airport manager) . Capone really did get 11 years and he died of advanced syphilis never leaving custody of the federal government. He was a resident of Alcatraz. I thought it was silly that the movie had the judge switch the juries, but that, in fact, really happened. Ness was in charge of the investigation, but all of the actions were pretty much fictional. The real part was Elliot Ness, a Treasury Agent was in charge of stopping the illegal alcohol violence caused by rival mobs in Chicago. Costner's movie wife, Patricia Clarkson, was the Warden's wife in the Green Mile. Costner was good in this but his skills have only grown over the decades and I believe he is one of the best actors of his generation. Movies of his Cassie might like are A Perfect World, Bull Durham , Tin Cup, Robin Hood, Wyatt Earp and Swing Vote to name a few. His Wyatt Earp came out at the same time as Tombstone (Kurt Russell). I feel Wyatt Earp was superior to Tombstone. Costner's character was far more developed and Tombstone was pretty much a plot driven movie length TV show. P.S. this was the 1st time I watched the full movie reaction since I became a patron in November. It worked out pretty well.

I bought this on Apple TV instead of renting it to watch along because it came with extras with purchase. It had some interviews with the cast and director. Some things I didn't know was that Mel Gibson was a person of interest to play Eliot Ness but he was busy filming something else. Also Bob Hoskins was asked to play Al Capone and the director wanted Robert De Niro. De Niro asked for a ton of money and it wasn't in the budget so they were going to go with Hoskins until the director told them he wasn't prepared to make the film without De Niro. He got his way and part of the money added to the budget for De Niro's salary paid off Bob Hoskins.

to tell the truth is so loosley besed on true story that is fictional, but still bueautiful ;) sorry for language not my native language so mistakes are probably there.

Al capone went to prison where his mental faculties eventually declined to a point of no return, due to syphilis. He eventually died of a stroke.

Cassie Cassie Cassie 1st off you know who Pee Wee Herman is and not Al Capone lol. Brian DePalma does know how to make a suspenseful movie! This is probably my favorite Kevin Costner movie next to JFK( another movie to check out) his acting was very good as well as Sean Connery and this is not their 1st time together in a movie though it was very brief Sean was in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves if you havent seen that one for the love story you must check that one out! The suspense in the train station was one of the best I believe ever! These 2 men are very real but this story over time has different variations there was even a TV show called The Untouchables. Im glad you got to see your handsome Kevin Costner again but there are more great movies of his you should check out like his western Silverado a great movie!! Great reaction Cassie cant wait to see your next one!!! Have a great day!!

Mike Ortiz

Well Cassie you did it to me again. When you smile, I smile. When you laugh, I laugh. When you cry, I manfully try not to. Great review as always. Thank you.

If meet the parents is all you know, might I suggest Heat? A wonderful performance by Rob and Al.

They got Al Capone on income tax evasion. They got L.A. gangster Mickey Cohen the same way. The "Parking Ticket" remark. That did happen. That's how they caught the Son Of Sam killer.
