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.....
