The Headline Implies Urgency: “Yellowstone fans have one day left to watch Kevin Costner’s ‘masterpiece’ gangster drama” – this is designed to create a sense of urgency, especially for fans of Costner’s work as John Dutton.
The “Masterpiece” in Question: The film being referred to is Brian De Palma’s 1987 crime drama, “The Untouchables.” It’s widely regarded as a classic and features an all-star cast including:
- Kevin Costner as Eliot Ness
- Robert De Niro as Al Capone
- Sean Connery (who won an Oscar for his role as Jimmy Malone)
- Andy Garcia
Why it’s “Shocking” (for those who want to watch it):
- Limited Time: As of today, Monday, June 16, 2025, the film is scheduled to leave BBC iPlayer at midnight tonight (June 16, 2025) in the UK. This means viewers have a very narrow window to catch it.
- High Praise: The film is frequently lauded as a “masterpiece” with excellent performances, a gripping plot, and a memorable score by Ennio Morricone. The idea of it leaving a streaming platform so suddenly is a jolt for those who might have intended to watch it later.
- Costner Connection: For “Yellowstone” fans, this provides an opportunity to see Costner in a very different, but equally iconic, role from earlier in his career, highlighting his range as an actor.
So, if you’re in the UK and want to watch “The Untouchables” on BBC iPlayer, act fast! After today, you’ll need to look for it on other platforms where it’s available for rent, purchase, or via other streaming subscriptions like Paramount+.
