Review:

Brian de Palma’s The Untouchables was released to considerable acclaim in 1987 and is probably his most well-regarded film.  With rising star Kevin Costner perfect as Eliot Ness, Robert de Niro hamming it up to high heaven as Al Capone and an Oscar-winning Sean Connery providing brilliant support as Jim Malone, the film is a great piece of entertainment.

De Palma has always believed that music has a very important role to play in a film and as such, the scores for his films tend to be striking and very much at the forefront; and he’s worked with some wonderful composers including Bernard Herrmann, Pino Donaggio, John Williams, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Danny Elfman and others.  On three occasions, he worked with the great Ennio Morricone.

The Untouchables is a brilliant score, incredibly striking, full of great themes and other individual moments, and it’s amazing to look back at the film now and see just how up-front the music is in it (even de Palma might not get away with that today).  All of that is great news for listeners to the soundtrack album.

The combination of highly attractive melodic themes with dynamite action/suspense material is a real winner.
