6What people say
Needed more De Niro and less Costner.
honestly SO silly, probably too silly for me. the Morricone score goes off too hard (loose endorsement). Andy Garcia has never been more beautiful (hard endorsement). great set pieces, generally, though perhaps no scene in the movie will live up to the pure joy of the second the credits started rolling, Dad shouting "who played THE BABY in THE UNTOUCHABLES?" into his phone.that said, I feel obligated to address my position of power as a Letterboxd microceleb (with regards to nepotism, industry connections, etc.) and come forward with the fact that: yes, my great uncle Seymour was an extra in the courtroom scene, visible at the 1:48:49-50 mark, sitting four rows back on the far right. by his account, "Bobby" De Niro was "very nice" (??), and that's really all I got here. hope this clears everything up!
