English I give two stars to the Americans for not ruining the original premise. Otherwise, there was not much to evaluate as it was basically a carbon copy of the French Untouchables, the biggest change being the relocation of the story overseas. ()

English This American version of The Intouchables was, against all odds, ideally placed. They took a little film from the cheeky national cinema, threw out all the crap, and made it pure again. With no hiccups. Even so, it can create something great that will be a joy to return to. Yes, the American setting is more universal, and the mere presence of Kidman in a supporting role creates viewer comfort in the reunion. ()
