MIssed opportunity

Rating: 3/10 (20 September 2019)

Donnie Brasco could have been a great film, but casting Johnny Depp as a tough Sicilian American agent who goes undercover with mafiosi doesn't work. I know there is something called "acting" but it is impossible to believe for a minute that Johnny Depp could pass a delinquent and keep company with mafia characters for more than five minutes.
Pacino, plays, well, Pacino as usual and get the job done even if they portrait his character as a likable villain.
It is a pity, the story could have been better if the producer would have decided to pick someone who doesn't look like he has just been in a boy band. (Depp has done some good things later, but not this one).
