5.0 out of 5 stars
a top notch gangster flick(Depp does it again) (4.5/5),
By
This review is from: Donnie Brasco (Special Edition) (DVD)
now this,is a good movie.It is based on the Book co written by Joseph.DPistone and Richard Woodley,chronicling undercover FBI agent Pistone and his life as "Donnie Brasco".Brasco/Pistone infiltrates the New York mafia,and befriends "Lefty Ruggiero",(Al Pacino)becoming close to him in time.Donnie collects information for the FBI,and over time his mob persona begins to assert itself.as a result,his family life falls apart and Donnie faces a moral dilemma,which i won't go into here.Johhny Depp plays Brasco/Pistone and delivers a very compelling performance.Pacino plays "Lefty" and is equally believable.this is the 2nd gangster movie i have seen,(Casino being the first,and lesser of the 2)and i must say,i am impressed.Anne Heche plays Maggie Pistone and does very well as the wife who sees her husband less often than the mobsters.her role is not that large,but is important to the movie.others in the film include James woods, Michael Madsen, Bruno Kirby, and the great(but very underrated) actress Gretchen Mol has a small role. all deliver excellent performances.but it is Depp's performance as Brasco that anchors this movie.his performance is what sells the story. "Donnie Brasco" gets a strong 4.5/5

This review is from: Donnie Brasco (Special Edition) (DVD)
Donnie Brasco is based on a true story but it is still gripping. Donnie Brasco is the alias of Joe Pistone, an undercover agent. He joins the mob as a help of Lefty played by Al Pacino. Pacino again plays a great mobster. This time as just a spoke, and sometimes not very smart.But DB gets so involved that he does not know on which side he is, that is what loyalty does to him. Even his marriage is almost falling apart. Depp and Pacino are of course brilliant as ever and this is another great maffia movie like Goodfellas are the Godfather.

This review is from: Donnie Brasco (Special Edition) (DVD)
Al Pacino learns what its like to be Fredo Corleone in this movie..being stepped on, stepped over, getting no respect, and finally getting killed by people he trusted...he plays a loser trying keep his head above water with great conviction. Johnny Depp holds his own on the screen and gives another great performance as well..
