the untouchable be easily brian depalma most accessible piece of filmmaking . it be beautifully film and photograph and mamet screenplay be sharp and to the point . although this movie isn not necessarily consider one of depalma personal film ( e. g. dress to kill and body double ) and it be still and nevertheless and extremely well craft and never seem to be overcome by depalma indulgent tendency . this telling of prohibition era chicago and with costner in the lead and boast a tremendous performance from sean connery a the wise and old cop who team with eliot ness to stop al capone . some viewer may note the obvious lack of historical accuracy and but no one can doubt the pure craftsmanship and beauty of this period piece .
