The story about friendship and betrayal

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2008)

I disagree with those who say that this movie is good only because of Al Pacino and Johnny Depp. Of course they made this film better, but what I liked the most about this film was the story and direction. Al Pacino get less of the show in this movie, though every time he was on screen, he was brilliant. Johnny Depp did a great job, as always, but like I said this movie isn't good only because Al Pacino and Johnny Depp was in it. Carlito's Way had Al Pacino and Sean Penn, both of them did well but the movie still wasn't that good because of the weak plot. This movie had some touching dramatic moments and also some intense moments (since it's a story about undercover cop). Michael Madsen is also worth mentioning, though his character was a very unlikable person, I still think that he did a great job and that this is his second best performance after Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs.
