Mr. Untouchable Ratings & Reviews
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Does the movie glorify Barnes and his nefarious profession? Probably, but show me a movie about the drug trade that doesn't hook us first with guts and glamour before the moralizing fall.
Variety
Robert Koehler
One seriously confused documentary.
Tolucan Times
Tony Medley
A lackluster documentary that lionizes this creep while ignoring the damage that his distribution of drugs did to society and the many brutal murders he ordered.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
What emerges is a portrait of a complex man.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Sometimes persuasive and sometimes sadly comical, but always fascinating.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Levin was clearly captivated by the sheer spectacle of Barnes' career.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
It's not a pretty picture, but it sure is a compelling one.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Mr. Untouchable is never dull.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Less a dispassionate examination than a celebratory infomercial on its central character.
Chicago Sun-Times
Jeff Johnson
[Director] Levin skillfully mixes the Barnes interviews with news clippings, 1970s street scenes and the recollections of Mr. Untouchable's former associates.
eFilmCritic.com
Brian Orndorf
On its own, Mr. Untouchable is a solid education on a specific period of time reigned over by a demon who willingly spread sickness to line his pockets.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
What is most intriguing in the film are the words, indeed the presence, of Barnes himself.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
Legendary '70s heroin kingpin Leroy "Nicky" Barnes is filmed like a deposed king in exile in Mr. Untouchable, Marc Levin's slick look at one of New York's most notorious criminal masterminds.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
It's fast and furious, and it proves that crime doesn't pay, unless you know how to do it right.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Nonjudgmental without being morally dense, the film makes human sense out of an inhuman example of addiction capitalism, '70s style.
Newsday
John Anderson
Marc Levin, whose last documentary, Protocols of Zion, was a gutsy examination of post-9/11 anti-Semitism, has an even tougher job on his hands with Leroy 'Nicky' Barnes: making the man interesting.
Metromix.com
Matt Pais
Isn't an inside look at the men who ruled a city but just an excuse to collect 'Superfly,' 'Sexual Healing' and 'Let's Stay Together' on a soundtrack.
Village Voice
Michelle Orange
A fascinating first-person account of drug kingpin and ruthless gangster Nicky Barnes, whose outrageous story of rise, rule, rage, and revenge requires no such stylistic filler.
ComingSoon.net
Edward Douglas
Marc Levin's biggest coup was actually finding Barnes and having him tell his story in his own words, which is ultimately the most interesting part of the movie
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Marc Levin may avoid outright idol-worship, but any restraint exhibited by his film is disingenuous.
