Ratings and reviews

Sorry to say, but this film is a total exact spin off of one of my favorite French movies called untouchable. It's exactly the same, scene for scene. They have literally just redone and ruined it. I urge you to watch the original called 'untouchable' This is not a patch on it.

If you've watched the original French version of this (Untouchable), you'll be left slightly confused, as some parts are different and leave you wondering which parts are based on the true events. Overall, still a great story and enjoyed watching a different take.

Not seen the French version I've just read about on these reviews. The film was refreshingly light and well acted. A nice change to the many shouty, overbearing films that there are too many of these days.
