Movie Reviews

MovieMartyr.com - 10/10 by Jeremy HeilmanOne of the most moving and insightful gangster films ever made.
USA Today - 10/10 by Susan WloszczynaOne terrific movie... Pacino and Depp are a match made in acting heaven, riffing off each other with astonishing subtlety and wit.
Slate - 10/10 by David EdelsteinIt's hard to think of another American film with this range of moods: satirical, sometimes hilarious, yet suffused with a sense of loss and riddled with the kind of violence that makes you recoil and lean forward simultaneously.
L.A. Weekly - 10/10 by Ella TaylorThere are moments here that are so distinct in emotional timber it's as if they were directed by someone who'd skipped the last two decades of American genre film and opted to get back to basics -- like character, and the ways in which two actors can sit in a smoke-filled car and turn an everyday conversation into art.
Laramie Movie Scope - 10/10 by Robert RotenI don't know if I can emphasize enough how much I enjoyed the fine performances of Depp and Pacino.
Montreal Film Journal - 10/10 by Kevin N. LaforestDonnie Brasco is 120 minutes of riveting filmmaking.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleThe true soul of the New York mob is portrayed in Donnie Brasco, a first-class Mafia thriller that is also in its way a love story -- perhaps director Mike Newell's best.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThe violence in this movie is gruesome (a scene involving the disposal of bodies is particularly graphic). But the movie has many human qualities and contains what will be remembered as one of Pacino's finest scenes.
Newsweek - 9/10 by David AnsenThis is Depp's coming-of-age role, and he's terrific. Pacino, who's shown more flash than substance recently, reminds us how great he can be when he loses himself inside a character. The bond between these two makes the film sing.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Michael SauterIt's the electric interplay between Pacino and Depp that will make it a Mob movie classic.
