A great gangster movie

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2004)

Donnie Brasco starring Al Pacino and Johnny Depp is nothing short of mesmerising. The story line may have been tested and tried over the years at Hollywood, alias Scarface and Goodfellas, however this movie is slightly different. The movie is about an undercover FBI agent who needs to bust a local New York gang. Depp plays the role of the FBI agent and Al Pacino that of a gangster. Depp is great as the undercover agent and Pacino is his usual best when it come to movies of crime and cocaine. The perspective of a FBI agent on gangsters life has never been tried in Hollywood that is what makes this movie unique. Great movie especially for lovers of gangster genre.
