Donnie Brasco (1997)

If you like films about the mob then take a bite otta this one cuz yore in for a treat.  Johnny Depp plays an agent in the Federal Bureau of Investigation who goes undercover to uncover the criminal activities of the mob.  He meets Lefty (Al Pacino) who feels like a nobody and whose son is failing him.  The kewl element of DONNIE BRASCO is how Depp's character (Donnie) bonds with Lefty like a father and son and how Donnie feels like a kindred spirit to the mobsters while he tries to keep his marriage afloat with three kids who never see him.  Wait for the ending for some revealing moments.  A fantastic crime drama I loved for taking the time to develop its characters and their motivation. [5 stars]
