YO, Untouchables - That Train Station Scene Tho!?!

Okay, so I just rewatched "The Untouchables" (classic, obvi). And I gotta ask, am I the only one who thinks the train station shootout scene is like, one of the most perfectly executed things ever? Seriously, De Niro as Capone is terrifyingly good, but Kevin Costner actually holds his own in this movie. Dude goes HARD. That slow-motion shot of the baby carriage tumbling down the stairs while Ness and Stone are trying to protect it...chills, man. I literally held my breath. And the way they used the sounds of the train to build tension? GENIUS. I always forget how epic that scene is until I see it again, and then I'm like, "Oh yeah, THIS is why this movie is so legendary." But, like, maybe I'm overhyping it? Does anyone else think that scene is the absolute peak of Brian De Palma's directorial skills? Or is there another moment in the movie that you guys think is even BETTER? I wanna hear other opinions, maybe I'm missing something (other then Sean Connery is awesome, we al know that already). He just oozes cool in this one, even without a gun!
