"Forgedda' 'bout it!"

Rating: 8/10 (24 April 2008)

This is film is based on a true story; so there are no car chases and great shooting scenes.
Lefty is a low level hit-man who has just taken on an apprentice, Donnie Brasco. Who just so happens to be a FED. Who will change the course of the Mafia's history.
The film is subtle in terms of the mannerism of gangsters; none of the gangsters are larger then life. They remain hidden.
Al Pacino plays lefty with sadness of a man trying to become someone before its too late. Depp holds his own playing the double agent.
The sad thing is that Pistone who is Donnie Brasco at the end of his undercover job only receives a thanks, nothing else.
A good realistic interpretation.
