Director: Mike Newell
In the movie Donnie Brasco, Johnny Depp plays the role of Joe Pistone, an undercover FBI agent working in a mafia family in New York, Joe Pistone uses the name Donnie Brasco as a cover so the mafia don't find out who he really is. While undercover he finds out that it's easier for him to relate to his mafia family than his family back home.
The plot tease for Donnie Brasco is when Joe meets up with Benjamin "Lefty" Ruggiero who is played by Al Pacino and Lefty brings him to meet Sonny Black, a capo, and Nicky Santora, an underboss.
The role that Johnny Depp plays in this movie is somewhat similar to the role he played in the 2009 movie Public Enemies because he played a member of the mafia, although he wasn't undercover in that movie he still killed people and had "made men" as friends.
I really like the movie Donnie Brasco because I love mafia movies, I also like Johnny Depp when his style of acting is more method than alienation like his role in the Willa Wonka remake.
I would recommend this movie to any one who likes crime drama movies, especially those that involve the mafia.
