Featuring Kevin Costner at his most upright, Sean Connery at his most Oscar-winning, and Robert De Niro going full scarface-with-a-bat, this film has long been considered a prestige gangster classic\u2014but does it still earn its reputation? Gene and Big D break down Ennio Morricone\u2019s unforgettable score, De Palma\u2019s shameless love of excess, and whether Costner\u2019s Eliot Ness is compelling or just aggressively boring. Along the way, they revisit Connery\u2019s scene-stealing mentor role, De Niro\u2019s cartoonishly menacing Al Capone, and the film\u2019s \u201chistory-as-vibes\u201d approach to law enforcement. Is The Untouchables a towering crime masterpiece\u2014or just a stylish collection of unforgettable moments stitched together with slow-motion hero worship?
