Forgettaboutit!
Great film. Great start to a film....Just look at the information passed in the opening credits, we see gangsters, photographs, evidence, this film sets the scene in the first 1 minute, let alone 20. After that, the film plays out brilliantly. Depp plays Don the Jeweller (aka undercover FBI Agent Joe Pistone) infiltrating the New York mob/crime family. Al Pacino plays the flawed gangster Lefty Two Guns. I like a few other supporting roles like Michael Madsen as the rising mob boss Sonny Black, and Paul Giamatti show us great talent in a small role as FBI technician.
This is just a great film where we see Donny torn to pieces by the guilt of not being with his family, the pressure and danger of infiltrating the mob as an undercover agent, and the confused loyalties and love for his connected contact Lefty.
Lefty struggles with his tenuous and fragile position within the mob and looks at Donny as a way up or out.
 The film can only go one way but it's fun getting there.
Ill not divulge too much but, for me, its a must watch. Enjoy.

I loved this movie, great cast and great female empowerment. Go rise above and kick some mob boss ass girls. Don’t let no husband try to tell you what to do while his stank ass is in jail.

Hands down the best Batman story ever written. Not only do you see Batman the detective at his best, but you encounter a wide array of villains from his rogues gallery as he investigates this mob-cenetered mystery.

The story
A classic
A great life story about a boy who enrolls in the local mob. Only for it to cause huge problems for him during the course of his life. Tough violent and gritty, but a classic film. Story telling at its best.

The wachowski's hit paydirt as this love triangle heist mob movie is pure enjoyment on many levels, it's a very stylish thriller with a taut edge of your seat story that gave us an early look into the minds behind the Matrix, a great directorial debut.
