    Seeing this film is on film four tonight thought it would be a good time to talk about.
    Unquestionably one of my favourite films. I think what De Palma does with the Camera was amazing. So many standout scenes. Sean Connery as the old time cop is excellent while De Niro as Al Capone is at his most menacing. five stars.

    An absolute DePalma classic. First rate cast with Connery and a young Andy Garcia as the standouts. The scene in Union Station is one of the most memorable shootouts in cinema history, as well as having a great soundtrack. DePalma has his critics and rightly so but on this movie he gets a ten.

    sure you know but that particular scene was a homage to the battleship potemkin. Yes one of the films i watch repeatedly.
