Don't Forget About It!!

Donnie Brasco is an Academy Award–nominated 1997 film starring Al Pacino and Johnny Depp. It is loosely based on the real-life events of Joseph D. Pistone, a FBI agent who successfully infiltrated the Bonanno crime family under the alias "Donnie Brasco". Depp met with Pistone several times while preparing for his role. Donnie Brasco is an extraordinary film in many ways. The performances are note-perfect. Especially the acting of my favorite actor.. Al Pacino. But there's so much more to it than that. The late 70s period details are impeccably captured; the dialogue is extraordinarily raw and realistic; the moral dilemma facing Depp is achingly, agonisingly conveyed. It's such a powerful picture, completely involving, that by the end you find yourself wrapped up in Pistone's predicament, ...

Depp's Brasco in at #40........

Another fantastic mobster movie with Al Pacino leading the way. Pacino plays...you guessed it a gangster... who befriends Johnny Depp's character (Donnie Brascoe) and brings him on as part of his crew, not knowing he is actually an undercover FBI agent. Pacino is right at home in this genre as usual but the breakout performance of Depp was not only surprising but quite remarkable. Michael Madsen, James Russo and Bruno Kirby are all great as part of the gang and even Anne Heche does a nice job as the tiring wife. I love this movie especially the dialogue between the two leads. As much as I love Pacino, Depp makes this a Top 50 hit......coming in at #40.....
