Gripping

Rating: 8/10 (13 April 1999)

This movie is entertaining from beginning to end in the description of life in the Mafia, and the risks FBI agent Joe Pistone (Depp) faced to infiltrate. This great story of friendship is solid in every aspect. The direction is superb, the script is great and the acting is great by all.
Al Pacino is great as usual as Lefty Ruggiero, and Michael Madsen and Bruno Kirby are entertaining to watch as well, but I think it is Johnny Depp who surprisingly out does them all. His performance is outstanding which is especially great considering he was acting with one of the all time greats in Pacino. Depp was totally believable and he was able to display a lot of emotion just in facial expressions.
A great movie. 9/10
