The Untouchables

Kevin Costner and Sean Connery act opposite Robert Di Niro in what turned out to be a film of true class.
Police officers Ness (Costner) and Malone (Connery) along with two other members of his team, Andy Garcia and the accountant swear to catch Al Capone (Di Niro) whatever it may cost.

The 1987 film is pure class. Connery is breathtaking in his role and the only part i had to skip was straight after his death. There are a few moments when you think 'why don't you just shoot the guy instead'. If he had shot the guy then he wouldn't have died but then i guess it wouldn't have added to the drama in the way that it did.
Garcia and Costner are the only two that are left alive in the end but Costner comes close to dying several times purely by the amount of times her was shot at or the amount of times someone held a gun to him.

The four man team tries to find a reason to bring Capone in and they settled for Tax fraud. The film shows their travels and journey towards bringing him in and like LA confidential shows how officers of the law can be bought and can be corrupt.
One of the better films of the 1980's and worth watching if you haven't already seen it.
