    Gangster movie No. 1

    In a world filled with overheated, and frequently overpraised, gangster movies, it seems to me that Mike Newell's 'Donnie Brasco', the story of a cop who goes undercover to infiltrate the mob, is arguably overlooked. Based on real life events, it contains great performances from Johnny Depp and Al Pacino, a complex but coherent plot, addresses universal themes (divided loyalties, the evolution of human relationships and behaviour) and the ending is genuinely moving. Perhaps it's not fast-paced enough for devotees of the genre; more likely it "fails" this audience for its very success in portraying the mafia as fundamentally pathetic, whereas most gangster pictures at least partly buy into the glamorous myth. But for me, this a superior film to Scorcese's 'Goodfellas', with a faint note of very black comedy that sounds behind the slaughter. Recommended.

    Al Pacino's Best Movie

    Yes, I am going to make the bold claim that this is his best work. "Are you talking about the same Al Pacino that did Scarface, Heat, AND the Godfather movies" you ask. Yes, yes, and let me explain myself. First of all, I want to add that I LOVE Pacino's work. He has such a commanding presence on screen and nobody in cinematic history can scream as well as him (though Gene Hackman is damn good). He can scare the hell out of you with just one crazed look in his eye and he never gives a flat performance (well, except in Revolution).

    Having said that, I think Pacino is incredible in this flick because his character is so understated. While his work often consists of playing flamboyant, over-the-top, and almost cartoonish figures(especially in Scarface and The Devil's Advocate), this film is a change of pace for him. Sure, he's still playing a mobster, but he's not as psychotic as usual, and for once, you get to see the inner struggles of a crook who deep down has a heart of gold (despite all of the murders). Pacino is perfect as Lefty, an aging crimical who wants out of the mob lifestyle, but doesn't know how to do it. Though you see the fast and fun world of mobsters in flicks like Goodfellas, this film gives you a sense that the mob life isn't that glamorous.

    Along with Pacino's acting, Johnny Depp is delectable as Joe Pistone (Donnie Brasco) because you can see his inner torment as well. He knows that he's been assigned to infiltrate the New York mob scene, but he develops such a close bond with Lefty that it's almost hard to bring him down. A very real, human relationship permeates between the two that is very moving. I like how the characters are always joking about being a "wise guy," as it provides some light chuckles, and it also shows that in order to live this lifestyle, you've gotta talk tough and act tough (as if I would know what that's like).

    The supporting cast is particularly noteworthy. Bruno Kirby plays a great weasel, Anne Heche is wonderful as Pistone's neurotic wife (you can understand her suffering, what with being married to an FBI special agent) and Michael Madsen is reliable, once again, as a mobster (honestly, does this guy do anything besides gangster or sci-fi flicks?). Every time I watch this movie I am breathless afterwards. The acting is wonderful, the music is superb, and frankly, I can't believe this stuff actually happened. Then again, I haven't read the book, so I don't know how much of it is true.

    Overall, this movie gets 10 out of 10. I'm shocked it doesn't get more recognition, especially with such prolific actors as Pacino and Depp leading the way. This is a different kind of mob movie, as it shows a more somber side to this way of life, and I recommend it unequivocally.

    One of the most underrated Cop/Mob film ever made!

    Having read the book, the story of Joseph Pistone easily could have been made into two films with creative leeway, and giving more in depth look on how he infiltrated la Cosa-Nostra to the point where Lefty approaches him. I feel the uncut version fills in certain aspects that clarify other scenes in the theatrical release. Two years prior to the Sopranos this gave you a real look into low level made guys, in terms of dress speech and personalities..Not some fantasized version as depicted in The Godfather, and not high earning mob associates who weren't "members" in Goodfellas. Per the book and documentaries his infiltration was key in understanding the mafia structure so that the Feds could optimize the way they'd utilize RICO statutes and wiretapping. The acting was phenomenal but didn't really get into some huge scams that as an associate Donnie met with high level capo regimes, a few bosses especially in Milwaukee and Florida, most notably the Heroin/Pizza ring, Vending machines, and truck hijacking and Union connections. Pacino deserved an Oscar as did Jony Depp for there performance. Ignoring the few scenes with scams and violence and a criminal montage the movie creates an internal conflict and what amounts to a bromance, while providing a look at the different levels of sociopathic behavior and presentation amongst mafia members in the late 70s when the Commission was running the entire Northeast. Knowing the story, and how well this movie was executed by the director of 3 weddings and a funeral...in the hands of Tarantino, or Scorsese this could have bin a trilogy or 2 part saga...while not leaving out what was emphasized in the movie. E.G. after a year of becoming acknowledged as a "legitimate" associate there were members of Colombo and Bonnano families that tried to recruit him. And we saw frustration and helplessness as an agent, but not the fear and paranoia he had to experience magnified more than any "legitimate" associate...a wrong question, talking to the wrong person, showing that he can be a psychotic by knowing the rules. I loved the film but it was again primarily focused on Donnie Brosco's juggling his wife, the FBI, and staying in character...it didn't go into his accomplishments things he saw and big people he came in touch with not just in the Bonnano Family. Kudos to Michael Madison as well.

    Depp and Pacino in terrific movie

    For some reason a Johnny Depp movie is always interesting. Whether it is a biopic about Ed Wood, a dark fairy tale about a man with scissors instead of hands, a movie about the greatest lover the world has ever known or a adventurous story about pirates, Depp's performance alone makes it worth seeing. Here he plays FBI-agent Joe Pistone who goes undercover using the name Donnie Brasco. He becomes a wiseguy with the help of Lefty (Al Pacino), who is sort of a loser wiseguy who desperately needs to be a mentor because most of his mafia family members look down on him. Donnie comes as a gift from heaven and it does not take long before Lefty trusts Donnie completely. The problem for FBI-agent Donnie is that he's starting to like Lefty as well.

    The movie is a gangster movie but has its focus on the relationship between Lefty and Donnie and sometimes on other relationships. Donnie, or Joe, is married to Maggie (Anne Heche) who he hardly sees. He can not exactly tell her what he is doing and sometimes stays away for a couple of weeks. She pretends she is a widow to deal with it. We also learn about the relationships in the mafia family, including new boss Sonny (Michael Madsen).

    The fact that this movie is more about the people and their relationships than about the events is a good thing. Sure movies like 'Goodfellas' are terrific but to see something a little different from time to time is nice as well. If you make a movie about people and their emotions you need to have some good performers to make the scenes believable. I already mentioned Depp but of course we have Pacino here as well. His Lefty is a memorable character and it is Pacino who makes sure that happens, but the fact that Depp is as good and especially believable as heavyweight Pacino says something. Of course we have Madsen who was probably the only right actor for the macho mobster Sonny.

    Director Mike Newell seems to be a strange choice for this sometimes very violent and bloody story since he directed the terrific but sweet 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'. Fortunately it turns out he is the right man for this material, probably because its real subject is not gangsters but, like I said before, the relationships between the characters. 'Donnie Brasco' has enough to offer for people who like the gangster-genre, but even if you are normally not a big fan there is still a chance you might like it.

    An absorbing, well made gangster movie.

    Mike Newell is the weirdest choice for director of a Mafia drama, but he actually makes a terrific fist of it, delivering one of the very best gangster movies ever made. Johnny Depp, Al Pacino, Anne Heche and Michael Madsen are all in top form in front of the camera, too.

    Depp plays undercover FBI agent Joseph Pistone in this intriguing true story. Pistone is trying to infiltrate his way into a mob family in order to gather evidence against them. He assumes the identity of "Donnie Brasco" and slowly but surely earns the love and trust of an old-pro hit-man named Lefty Ruggiero (Pacino). As the months go by, Pistone's marriage begins to fall apart as he is away from his wife (Heche) pretty much all the time. The line between his real life and his undercover life blurs together and he finds himself dangerously close to being seduced by the violent Mob lifestyle.

    Donnie Brasco is an extraordinary film in many ways. As already mentioned, the performances are note-perfect. 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, asking yourself what decisions you would make in the same circumstances. Very few movies genuinely inspire you to debate the whats, whys and wherefores of the main character and his actions... but with Donnie Brasco, that's just what you'll find yourself doing.

      Al Pacino loved being able to use all of the rich Mafia slang throughout the film. Writer Paul Attanasio captured mob dialect so accurately because he had Joseph D. Pistone's wiretaps.
    • Blooper
      Sonny Black introduces Donnie to Santo Trafficante as "a friend of ours", it should be "a friend of mine", because Donnie wasn't a made man, only a connected guy as Lefty states earlier in the film. However, in the source material, Joe Pistone noted that Sonny Black did eventually start introducing him, as Donnie Brasco, as "a friend of ours" even though he was not a made man.
    • Citazioni

      Lefty: [standing next to Donnie's car at night] There's the boss. And, under him, there's the skipper. You know how this works?

      Donnie Brasco: Yeah, it's like in the army.

      Lefty: Bullshit. The army is some guy you don't know telling you to go whack some other guy you don't know.
