Review of Donnie Brasco (1997) by Stephen S — 20 Oct 2012
Pacino's performance is superbly nuanced however the film suffers from the unfortunate outcome of doing everything exactly right. All of the constituent parts are pleasing and seemingly aptly executed but it somehow lacks resonance and feels predictable.
It's a classic example of how doing everything exactly perfect is often wrong because it doesn't feel unique. In the long run I think we are more touched charismatic flaws more than perfection.
