Al Pacino and Johnny Depp star in this amazing mob film based around an undercover FBI agent, Joseph Pistone(depp) who infiltrated the mafia, but became very close with one of its members(pacino). Sturdy support comes from Michael Madsen(reservoir dogs), James Russo(under oath) and The Basketball Diaries paedophile Swifty, Bruno Kirby.
It was written by the real Joseph Pistone, and involves it's audience with extreme ease. Pacino gives a performance worthy of his Godfather days. Depp is much better in this than in the other film of his I watched on that night, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas.
If you are interested in Gangster/Underworld films, then watch this film. Rating=4/5
