 Donni BrascoJul 05, 2010
I found this movie to be quite entertaining because of the acting and interaction between the stars, Al Pacino and Johnny Depp, of whom I am a big fan and have collected all his films.
This movie has its twists and turns to keep you interested and therefore I recommend this movie to everyone.

 Worst Mafia Movie Since The GodfatherJun 06, 2010
Other critics have said this is nothing compared to Goodfellas. This is the worst mafia movie from the modern era I've seen. Casting Al Pacino, who played Michael Corleone in The Godfather, in this film may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but he's so lame compared to Corleone! The Godfather is considered the best or one of the best movies of all time (according to online votes at imdb.com). It's the gold standard of mafia movies. Making Pacino the lead character for DB raises your expectations, but they aren't fulfilled, unfortunately.
Donnie Brasco is very uneven. The start is very slow and very weak. I'd rate the first half of the movie two stars and the last half three to four stars. The first half hour is slow and boring; it felt like a homemade movie. The way it was so easy for Donnie Brasco to get accepted by Pacino's character was silly. It wasn't even accurate to the history, apparently. So why did the screenwriter change the story to make it so much less credible, and far worse. Brasco spots a fake diamond and sort of beats up a guy. Let's make him part of our inner mob circle.
Through a good portion of the film, the mobsters seem more like a lame street gang than major mafia criminals. They are clowns. Later on, however, it gets really nasty and graphic with lots of blood and nasty visuals.
A glaring weakness and mistake in Donnie Brasco was how poorly it conveyed the importance of Brasco's work. At the end with the credits they tell us that Brasco was responsible for 200 indictments and 100 convictions and still has a $500,000 price on his head. Until then it seemed more like he'd taken down a few people in a little street gang of mafia wannabes.
The screenwriting was very disappointing. Paul Attanasio screwed it up. How somebody who'd written police drama for many years could f this up is unbelievable. The producers made the mistake of choosing a screenwriter whose experience was crime tv, not crime movies. This movie could have been so much better. Hopefully it will be remade one day by people who know what they are doing. A true story like Donnie Brasco deserves a five-star movie. The man is a legend with balls of steel.

Gritty, Undercover Criminal Partnership -Apr 20, 2010
"Donnie Brasco" is a movie based on a real life autobiography describing an FBI agent's undercover life in the Mafia and a criminal partnership that also develops int a deep friendship. Joe Pistone (Johnny Depp) is an FBI mole who poses as a jewel broker named Donnie Brasco. He is granted entrance into the violent mob family of Lefty Ruggiero (Al Pacino). Lefty becomes his mentor, showing deep trust in the man he knows as Donnie. When Joe's (known as Donnie Brasco) personal and professional lives collide, his mission is at risk. Joe sees gray areas between his ties to the underworld and the law. With divided loyalties, he risks his life, his marriage, his job and Lefty, the mentor that becomes his friend.
Depp and Pacino, as well as the supporting cast of Anne Heche, Bruno Kirby, Michael Madsen and James Russo show extraordinary acting, and give compelling character studies to this gritty undercover criminal story.
 Great movieApr 09, 2010
I am sure the movie description written for the product is better than anything I could ever write, so I will just leave it as this is a good movie that I got a great deal on the Blu-Ray.
In the Top Rank of Mob MoviesMar 23, 2010
The mob movie is one of the staples of American cinema and hundreds of them have been made. Donnie Brasco,a true story of an undercover agent released in 1997 by British director Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral) is one of the best. Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather Trilogy ranks first, followed by Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas. I would put this one, starring Al Pacino and Johnny Depp, in third place.
Don't miss the excellent documentary included in the blu-ray edition.
