This is a terrific movie.

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2001)

This excellent movie gives us another look at the evil yet fascinating life of mobsters. "Donnie Brasco" shows us the mafia from the perspective of the title character, a perspective that changes as the film progresses; from the outside at first, then a slow u-turn to an insider's view. Pacino is superb in one of his few mob roles (the Godfather films may have typecast Al). I haven't seen Depp before, except in "Edward Scissorhands." He is a fine actor in this role, although he does seem a bit young to be the father of three children. The supporting cast is believable, particularly Bruno Kirby. I rate this movie favorably with some of the best in the genre (GoodFellas, Miller's Crossing, Mean Streets
