The Untouchables (1987)
The Untouchables (1987)
1987 | Action, Drama
Top-notch gangster drama from Brian de Palma. Idealistic government agent Eliot Ness (Costner) sets out to bring gangster Al Capone (de Niro) to justice, but is he prepared to do what it takes? Veteran street cop Malone (Connery) isn't so sure.

Glossy studio film-making at its most accomplished, with a smart script, strong performances, stylish direction, great action sequences and a fabulous Morricone soundtrack that effortlessly draws you in and leads you through the movie. One is tempted to knock a point off for Connery's attempt at an Irish accent, but this is one of his best performances, and deservedly got him his Oscar - but Costner is very nearly as good in a less showy role. Point added anyway for being a Hollywood action thriller that includes an homage to Sergei Eisenstein. Great stuff.

Aspiring actor Greg Sestero meets a mysterious man named Tommy Wiseau in his acting classes with Jean Shelton. Hoping to achieve Hollywood stardom, Sestero moves to Los Angeles and signs on to appear in his buddy's project. Financed with his own money, Wiseau writes, directs and stars in "The Room," a critically maligned movie that becomes a cult classic.

There isn't a lot to say about this one. I mainly only went to see it because some people were raving about it. This for me is skirting the fine line of "based on a true story" and reality TV. I cannot watch reality TV, I find it physically distressing watching anything that awkward. That being said, I don't feel like I was missing out on much in this film, and no one else in the cinema seemed to be enjoying it either.
