Been watching a lot of mafia type films recently, so went for Donnie Brasco last night. Having seen a documentary about Joseph D Pistone's experience within the mafia, undercover name 'Donnie Brasco', I was looking forward to this one.
Johnny Depp, Al Pacino, Anne Heche and Michael Madsen are all in top form in front of the camera in this one. Notably the relationship between Depp who plays Pistone and Pacino who is playing as Benjamin 'Lefty' Ruggiero.
Depp is an undercover FBI agent, who manages to infiltrate the mafia and then forms a strong relationship with Pacino, a soldier within the mafia. Not wanting to give to much away but if you enjoy your mafia type movies this is a must watch, for all others the performances in this make it worth watching in itself, excellent movie.
