Donnie Brasco

1997· R· 2h 7m· Crime· Drama· Thriller

In 1978, the US government waged a war against organized crime. One man was left behind the lines.

In 1997, Mike Newell's "Donnie Brasco" unfurls the intricate dance of loyalty and deceit within the New York City underworld. Playing an FBI agent who penetrates the fabric of the mafia, Johnny Depp navigates the perilous balance between law and crime, his character's moral compass increasingly skewed by the charisma and camaraderie of his criminal compatriots. The film is a tense, character-driven exploration of identity and ethics, where the lines between right and wrong blur as the protagonist finds himself more at home among the mob than in his own life.
