Intense Mob Thriller.

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 2002)

Infiltration of the mob by a young FBI agent (Johnny Depp) leads to fireworks in this impressive little film from 1997. Depp gets immersed way too deep and the mafia knows that someone is not who he appears to be. The strong relationship between Depp and criminal Al Pacino is at the heart of this smart motion picture that works due to a clever Oscar-nominated screenplay and top-flight performances by the key players involved. Based on actual events "Donnie Brasco" is one of the more impressive films of 1997. 4 stars out of 5.
