Donnie Brasco (1997)
Before I even start about this awesome flick, just go and watch it right now!!
“Donnie Brasco” is based on a True Story.
It’s the story of FBI agent Joe Pistone (Johnny Depp), who in the late 1970’s was hired to infiltrate the mafia. So, he got acquainted with hit-man Benjamin “Lefty” Ruggiero (Al Pacino). But lo and behold, Joe got too much into the mafia lifestyle, to the point where it dominated his life and kept him from his family. And no one ended up with a very good reward at the end.
This film gives you an accurate picture of life on America’s mean streets and an insight of organized crime.
Both Johnny Depp and Al Pacino are absolute brilliant as we expect them to be, with good support from Michael Madsen, Bruno Kirby, James Russo, Anne Heche and Zeljko Ivanek.
With his hair all greased back, Depp looks like the ultimate Mafioso.
Stop reading this review and go watch it now!
