Negative Positive
Title: An Authentic Look...
Review: This is a good DVD that chronicles the life and rise in the drug game of Nicky Barnes, who appeared on The New York Times magazine cover at the height of his heroin empire with the title MR. UNTOUCHABLE. Not a smooth move on his part as a criminal investigation prompted by the magazine cover, which was seen by President Jimmy Carter, ensued. But Nicky Barnes was an intriguing and mesmerizing figure as his portrayal by Cuba Gooding Jr. in the American Gangster film showed. There is rumored to be an offshoot movie starting Cuba Gooding Jr as Nicky Barnes in the works. There is also a book out by the same title and Nicky Barnes was interviewed and his story profiled in F.E.D.S. magazine also. But check out the DVD it is nice and tells his story and was directed by the famous director producer Marc Levine. The DVD captures the story perfectly and also is a good look at the era when New York city was a virtual crime zone and open air drug market for Nicky's heroin brand
