"A beautifully crafted portrait of Prohibition-era Chicago."

—

Variety

"De Palma's style rides substance out of town to leave a glorious compendium of genre cool, remixing the original '50s TV series just as Indiana Jones took a whip to '30s serial adventures."

—

Total Film

"It's vulgar, violent, funny and sometimes breathtakingly beautiful."

—

The New York Times

"Superb performances, exquisite direction and that Ennio Morricone score create an authentic 1920s Chicago feel and a hugely entertaining crime drama."

—

Empire Magazine

"Few old TV shows have been brought to the big screen with such élan as Brian De Palma's majestic adaptation of the 60s small screen classic The Untouchables."
