The Untouchables (1987)

This is about a team of law people which, in 1930's Chicago, was assembled in order to bring down Capone and his liquor business.

I decided to rewatch this because of the abnormally low grade which I assigned it upon first viewing. I arrive to the conclusion that back then I didn't understand the anti-realist style which characterizes this film. Now I do. And I still don't like it. But a little credit is due to the staging effort on some of the set-pieces.

Rating: 32 (up from 6)
