Scarface vibes, mixed with the departed, Goodfellas and young Johnny Depp
Solid undercover mob movie. Definitely keeps you anxious about what’s going to happen next.
One of the best gangster movies; touching story with an unforgettable performance by Pacino
This movie has a great story and featured the right actors for each of the characters.
Well-directed film, with an engaging screenplay, portraying the daily life of organized crime, with a story of a man losing his identity
A passing of the torch from Al Pacino to Depp couldn’t have been executed more perfectly. (26 people)
Excellent movie, if your into crime dramas. Based on a true story, the real “Donnie Brasco”, must have had balls of steel!
Ok Depp as undercover, but brilliant Pacino, based on my knowledge of NY neighborhoods. Intimate, brutal, scary. Don't watch it alone.
Johnny Depp in the world of the mafia. If you’re into old Mafia stories or films, this is a must watch.
Honestly expected much more, a movie that tries to give a message but feels unclear, unfinished, and without punch, still a good time though
