Review of Donnie Brasco (1997) by Paramilitary400 — 16 May 2015

This mob thriller is very average. A viewer familiar with Pacino and Depp's movies would expect great acting and constant action. However this movie is lacking in both acting and thrills. There are a few parts of action but barely any.

For a mob thriller the movie is very disappointing. The story drags and by the end of the movie you are relieved that it is over. This movie received high reviews from the critics and the public but it isn't on the level of mob thrillers like Casino, Goodfellas, Scarface, and The Untouchables.

I wouldn't watch this movie again and for anyone who hasn't seen this skip it. Whoever misses the movie who hasn't seen it, you aren't missing anything vital. This movie adds nothing new or original to the crime genre.
