Brian De Palma’s legendary crime film, starring Kevin Costner and Sean Connery, is set to reach a fresh audience nearly 40 years after its debut.

It’s not every day a legendary crime flick gets a fresh run on a new streaming service, but that’s exactly what’s happening next month. If you’ve never caught this classic, now’s your chance. The film, helmed by Brian De Palma, first hit screens almost four decades ago. Despite the years, it’s still widely recognised as a standout in the genre, with a reputation that’s only grown over time.

Star Power and Lasting Appeal

What really sets this one apart is its cast. With Kevin Costner leading the charge and the late Sean Connery in a memorable role, it’s no wonder the film’s still talked about. Both blokes bring a heap of charisma and grit, making their characters stick in your mind long after the credits roll. Their performances, along with a sharp script and tight direction, have helped the film stay relevant for new generations of punters.

Why It’s Still Worth Watching

There’s something about the way this story’s told that keeps it fresh. The film doesn’t just rely on nostalgia; it’s got real substance. The tension, the dry humour, and the way the action unfolds all add up to a viewing experience that’s as gripping now as it was back in the day. Even if you’re not usually into gangster stories, this one’s got enough going on to keep you keen.

Perfect Timing for a Rewatch

With its move to a new free streaming home, there’s never been a better time to give this classic another look—or to check it out for the first time. Whether you’re a long-time fan or just curious about what all the fuss is about, you’ll find plenty to enjoy. The film’s mix of top-notch acting, clever storytelling, and iconic moments make it a must-see for anyone keen on a good yarn.
