GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Sinnema "The Untouchables" had many great elements: 1. An excellent cast, including several familiar faces from TV and films: Tom Amandes ("Everwood"), William Forsythe ("John Doe," "UC: Undercover," "Out for Justice"), John Rhys-Davies ("The Lord of the Rings," "Raiders of the Lost Ark"), and David James Elliott ("JAG").2. Some entertaining -- if historically unrealistic -- stories, combining gangster action stories with looks into the personal lives of the characters, especially the relationships with Al Capone (Forsythe) and Eliot Ness (Amandes) and their respective wives and children.3. Fantastic theme music by Joel Goldsmith (I'm still humming it, and I haven't seen the show in 10 years). I wish they had released a soundtrack album for the series.Though the show was on for only a year and a half, "The Untouchables" was able to tell a complete story, fleshing out both the heroes and the villains into complex characters, and it wrapped up most of the plot lines by the final episode.This series would make an ideal DVD box set. Are you paying attention, Paramount?
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.
aaronj2004 I'm a fan of untouchables as much as the next person and i would love for the series to be on DVD i enjoy all the early episodes, especially the pilot the later episodes, i didn't get to see because i was busy watching other movies If the series lasted from January 1993 till September 1994 then they should put both seasons on both VHS and DVD [on either two, three or four disc DVD] to some extent that people would be like "oh my gosh, the untouchables is on DVD! i'm excited! "My point being , This series should be on DVD and VHS then they'd realize they'd love the series on DVD or VHS as much they did when it was on fox TV from january 93 till September 94
E.C. Montana (epevae) Enjoying the airing of the Untouchable series on Polish TV in English, I find the story as fascinating as the times I´ve watched it before. Aside from the excellent choice of actors/actresses, the tragedy and funny side of the topic is clearly tangible in almost all episodes. Especially when Ness is forced to rescue Nitti from a revengeful boy who´s cop dad was killed. Irony at its best.Although the story happened nearing a century ago, it is as vivid and valid as ever.Excellent scripts, great actors, and a fascinating story untouched by time.
