Interesting performance from Johnny Depp

Rating: 8/10 (29 September 2002)

I really enjoyed this movie due to the performance of Johnny Depp. I beleive actors who try to expand their acting range are far more interesting than those who stick to one genre and milk it to death (ie nic cage and his action roles) To be honest I have only seen Johnny Depp in one other movie, Donnie Brasco, and he was quite good with Al Pachino. Some reviewers have called this movie a ripoff of Goodfellas with drug dealers. i dont mind that, because Goodfellas is such a great movie, by copying the original, you get a sufficiently entertaining duplicate. I dug the stylish camera visuals of the film, and the soundtrack. This was the best movie in Ted Demmes short career. Check this out if you enjoyed Goodfellas!
