A captivating story that’s well-written and well-produced. Very straightforward and efficient, with some solid acting performances.
Scarface vibes, mixed with the departed, Goodfellas and young Johnny Depp
Sort of goes through the motions doing gangster undercover stuff and a character study. Nevertheless an amazing operation if largely true.
Solid undercover mob movie. Definitely keeps you anxious about what’s going to happen next.
This movie has a great story and featured the right actors for each of the characters.
A passing of the torch from Al Pacino to Depp couldn’t have been executed more perfectly. (26 people)
Knowing the film was based on a real FBI agent’s experience made every scene feel more gripping and impactful.
Ok Depp as undercover, but brilliant Pacino, based on my knowledge of NY neighborhoods. Intimate, brutal, scary. Don't watch it alone.
Nothing you haven’t seen before in terms of crime dramas, but Depp and Pacino have great chemistry together with great support from Madsen
Excellent movie, if your into crime dramas. Based on a true story, the real “Donnie Brasco”, must have had balls of steel!
