    ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
    mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
    Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
    zano2060 This show was the best one i have ever seen. Great stories and great acting in this series. I have been watching the clips on you tube, which are great. I think this show was taken off way to soon and may be why we will never see it on DVD. This was the best untouchables show or movie made, it was ahead of its time.We need to do whatever we can to get this series to DVD. I gave it 10 in voting for it. If anyone has DVD info on this show please let me know about.Or if anyone is selling DVD's i'm very interested in buying them. please email me at jpisano@bostonvolvo if you have info. Why do we need to have a minimum of 10 lines for this??
    rita-butler I really liked the development of the characters throughout the episodes I have been able to watch. Especially the character of Paul Robbins played by David James Elliott. The story lines were clever and kept me watching from episode to episode. The actor that portrays Elliott Ness does indeed remind me of Jimmy Stewart. With the onset of reality TV programs, I miss the scripted dramas of old and would really like a revival of good series programs such as The Untouchables. If you enjoy gangster movies and shows where the good guys win, you will enjoy this program. In my opinion, it was canceled way too soon. If it were to come out on DVD, I would buy it in it's entirety.
    Bev-7 I honestly enjoyed this series. It moved fast and had great music. In fact, I wish I could find the theme song an a CD someplace. There were moments in which the writers drew parallels between Ness and Capone, revealing that the two men actually had some things in common. I never missed an episode and was truly disappointed that it was not renewed for a second season.
    Booyah One of my favorite movies of the 80s was "The Untouchables," and when I saw that a show was coming out on the same subject, I thought it would be another crummy TV spinoff like "Uncle Buck."But, despite the fact that the TV show didn't have the big names of the movie version, I found the show to be much more believable and suspenseful, without the glaring anachronisms that the movie had (e.g. Frank Nitti being killed at the Capone trial in the movie).William Forsythe (Capone) does an INCREDIBLE job...he AT LEAST equals the great Robert DeNiro's performance of the same character. Also, John Rhys-Davies and Tom Amandes give great performances and the show's writing was excellent. It's a shame it had such a crummy time slot and was canned so soon.
