Donnie Brasco – Directed by: Mike Newell Written by: Paul Attanasio
FBI agent Joe Pistone (Depp) goes deep undercover as Donnie Brasco, attempting to find insider information that will put mob bosses away for a very long time. He befriends “Lefty” Ruggiero, who takes him into his confidence and vouches for him as a “stand-up guy” and just like that Donnie is in. Feeding off Depp, Pacino’s performance as a poor shmuck continually passed over for promotion (even by Brasco) that must scream out how important and well known he is for people to turn his way is so heartbreaking, it’s difficult not to feel for the guy. This movie on the whole is much overlooked and should be at the top of all rental lists. Depp is exceptional, as well. (Starring Al Pacino, Johnny Depp, Michael Madson.)
