another classic gangster film that was a little over looked......

Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2009)

I'm a big gangster film fan, always have and always will. this particular gangster film is not my best but still gets ten stars due to its flawless scenes and the effort made by Al Pacino, Johnny Depp, Michael Madsen and Anne Heche. i do consider this movie to be a mini masterpiece, its stuns me that the film didn't bring much hype behind it.
this is a true story in which a cop (Johnny Depp) goes undercover as alias "Donnie Brasco" so he can become friends with the mob boss's and infiltrate there schemes and arrest them.
this really is a fantastic movie that i'll remember for a long time. its not as good as other gangster masterpieces such as casino, god father, departed, good fellas and so forth. but this film will leave you wanting more gangster action. i haven't seen the directors cut version of this yet unfortunately but hoping to do so soon......... 10/10........j.d Seaton
