Thoroughly enjoyable once it gets going.

Having watched the original version of this 'The Untouchables' I was interested in seeing this only because of Kevin Hart and Brian Cranston but at the same time was concerned I would be very disappointed.

It started off. bit rocky but improved greatly as it went on. I actually got really drawn into it by the middle, so much so much so that I could feel the tension and emotion deeply which is saying something for me.

Sadly Nicole Kidman is not a very good actress and she should not have been in this role. I found her performance in Aquaman just as bad as was her female co star in the same film. Very jerky and stiff. It is painful watching actresses who have succumbed to face immobilizing procedures. It affects their acting a lot as they are very conscious of themselves and the way they look rather than giving a great performance.
