Better Than Most Mafia Films; Donnie Brasco

Rating: 8/10 (26 July 2019)

I've seen every major Mafia film and dozens of minor ones. Most of them are just stereotypes, but entertaining to view. This one is much deeper than that. Its just short of The Godfather 1 and 2, but just as good as Goodfellas, Casino, and one or two others. Pacino is right on and this is Depp's best film of his career. I have panned him several times, but not for this performance; its very good. The supporting cast is outstanding; especially Kirby and the wife of Brasco. How insulting was the FBI to the real Pistone? You will have to see for yourself. The film will hold your attention from beginning to end.
