Excellent!

Rating: Null/10 (13 October 1998)

This was a great film and a gripping story. This must be Mike Newell's proudest achievement. Some people criticise it for being a 'buddy movie' but I think it is a realistic account of undercover cop work. Pacino is the perfect victim 'even a dog gets a warm piece of the sidewalk'. Depp is excellent and so are Madsen and Kirby. The film went into the inevitable but deceitful forging of a friendship between Lefty and Donnie. A classic!
