The cast and the subject matter.

I grew up on stories of Al Capone and watching the tv show "The Untouchables". It follows that when the movie came out, I'd love it.

I didn't. Sure, seeing DeNiro and Connery and Costner in one movie together has an appeal, but even they were unable to carry off the movie. The storyline was blah, the dialog trite and the pace was very uneven.
