5 Stars! “In this riveting take on the old TV crime show from director Brian De Palma, Kevin Costner gives a star-making performance…David Mamet’s dialogue crackles, Ennio Morricone’s music soars and the production design sparkles…the main attraction of this modern classic is Sean Connery’s Oscar-winning turn” (Radio Times)

5 Stars! ” majestic adaptation of the 60s small screen classic…a series of thrilling action set-pieces and some brilliant banter courtesy of screenwriter David Mamet…De Palma directs with effortless panache…He also gets a career-best performance from Connery and a larger-than-life one from De Niro” (BBC)

4/4 Stars! “two hours of pure, exuberant entertainment – an epic gangster tale rendered on a grand scale…is the stuff of myth and legend…contains everything that’s necessary for a rousing adventure” (Reel Views)
