Saw Donnie Brasco last night. Almost turned it off after 2 minutes, since it was an ugly ugly film. Lots of swearing (I am old fashioned, I guess) and criminal people in low life situations. Plus it had Al Pacino, which is a minus in my book, usually. But Johhny Depp was the kid's draw, and Anne Heche as eye candy was mine.Glad I didn't turn it off.
Became quite engaging, Anne Heche was wonderful in a role much better played than the eye candy "the lead is not a homo" part that the eye candies of the world usually do.
Johhny Depp as usual disappeared into his character. How many people are in this boy's head?
Al Pacino -- a good actor, for sure, I just don't like the type of movies he chooses to be in -- was excellent, truly.
The next day I'm still thinking about it, which is a sign that the movie left an impression. Some movies I can't remember by the time I get home from the theatre.
Well worth the rental.
Follow Ups:
I thought Pacino was great. It's interesting to compare his portrayal of the powerful mob figure in the Godfather and the out-of-touch mob in this movie.While you're at it, I'd suggest that you rent "Goodfellas", another very good mob movie. It too may be memorable for a long while. May be a bit aggressive, but worth checking out.
This is quite a different film than most expect. What's also very surprising is Pacino's acting. He doesn't go for that YELLING thing that he's been doing in recent years (Heat, Devil's Advocate, Scent of a Woman).Doug Schneider
