Donnie Brasco review by Corinthian
Double genius

One great star makes way for another in this awesome gritty study of gangland New York. Depp is brilliant as the undercover, understudy to the father he never had, Pacino and the supporting Michael Madsen as the Boss is suitable unnerving. Love it!!

Donnie Brasco review by MM
A Different Take on Gangster Films

Donnie Brasco puts a unique spin on the gangster-cop relationship, which provides the engine for this compelling story. The way that the characters become dependent on each other is fascinating and leaves the conclusion up in the air until the finale. I found it well plotted, not overly dependent on violence, and credible. Above all it is a human story which engages the audience through the performances of the two central characters, Johnny Depp and Al Pacino.
