Donnie Brasco review

100% Brilliant

By far one of the best if not the best mob/gangster movie I have seen. Based on a true story this film is absolutely brilliant.

It tells the true story of Joseph D. Pistone, an FBI agent who goes undercover as Donnie Brasco to find information on an aging hitman 'Lefty' and his gang. The information found out by Joseph was amazing and led to many convictions. But after a while Joseph's professional and personal lives collide, and he becomes more like the mob member he is pretending to be.

The acting was just brilliant. Johnny Depp was amazing, couldn't have been any better. This is yet another film that proves what an amazing actor he is. Al Pacino also acted well, I didn't really like his character though and I haven't seen many of his films, but he was fantastic as well in this film. The others that I can't name them all were great additions to the cast.

The book is supposed to be better than the movie, so I should check that out sometime. But I really, really enjoyed watching this masterpiece, I recommend this to anyone who loves Mob/Gangster movie and of course if you are a fan of Johnny Depp or Al Pacino you should really see this!
