Chivonnie of Reelblack TV speaks with filmmakers Damon Dash, Mary-Jane Robinson and Marc Levin about their latest Project, Mr. Untouchable, which opened the 2007 Urbanworld Film Festival. Mr. Untouchable tells the true story of Harlem crime boss Nicky Barnes, who ruled the heroin trade back in the 1970s before federal charges and disloyal compadres did him in. some say he's the real American Gangster.

  • Neither Frank Lucas nor Nicky Barnes were the man. The fact is that thousands became addicts and died. It is becasue of crooked governemnt, cops, and these two men and many others. Men who made a come up at the expense of their own community. It is sad that we call a movie about Frank Lucas or Nicky Barnes great.

  • Movies about gangsters can be great in fact some of the best movies ever made are about gangsters. Goodfellas is a great movie about some really terrible gangsters. Now if the movie glorifies the gangster, that is not good. It is a matter of point of view-many people would say a movie about a gangster glorifies the gangster. That is not always the case. American Gangster does not glorify Frank Lucas. It shows him as a tragic figure-and I am sure at best that is this movie does for Barnes.

  • so according to Dame the only thing Nicky did wrong was snitching?! lol talking bout "it negated all the influential great things he did" lol these dudes are killing me "great things"?! really?! sellin heroin & killing people?! get the fuck outta here these peoplel will never learn

  • the interviewer is fine

  • @Sliminal

    I think you're wrong - Given their social setting and if viewed in a different light, you can compare these figures to the Bill Gates', Henry Ford and Steve Jobs.

  • This is a great film. It's not about snitching, it's about something that goes deeper, payback.

    And he lived!

  • well said

  • who cares if they glorify the story or not, let them, be smart enough to know better. - goodfellas is a good movie. this shit goes on all the time no sense in hiding the truth no matter how much they make it look good or bad.
