At a glance
Mr. Untouchable is a 2007 English-language documentary directed by Marc Levin. It addresses the rise and fall of Nicky Barnes, a former drug kingpin in New York City. Barnes gives first-hand testimony in the film, which was produced for HDNet Films. Mary-Jane Robinson is also credited as a producer, alongside Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner. The film had a limited release beginning October 26, 2007. Its subject and use of Barnes’s testimony make it a documentary centered on one person’s account and history, rather than a general survey of crime in New York. For documentary viewers interested in crime stories and first-person testimony, the film’s focus is clear from its subject and format.
Who it is for
It may suit viewers interested in crime documentaries focused on an individual’s history. Barnes’s first-hand testimony is a notable element for those drawn to personal accounts.
