Saw Donnie Brasco (1997 / Mike Newell) today, and I must say this is one of the potentially best stories I've ever encountered. Kinda the godfather trilogy via gangs of New York, with a little Scarface in, but everything on a very personal triangle Protagonist - Father figure - Wife.
The film didn't make much of its potential, but enough for the two hours. The chemistry between Depp and Pacino is phenomenal, they could almost be relatives as far as my impression goes, and the photography is also top-notch. Wonder why it didn't get any awards that year?
