Donnie Brasco Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
David Ansen
This 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.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Depp's tight, guarded performance is almost painful to watch, and Newell seems to have reined in the flamboyant Pacino, whose portrait of the mobster as a grumpy old man may be his best work in years.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Although perhaps familiar in its outer trappings, Pacino's fine work is the key to the film succeeding to the extent that it does.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
[Newell and Attanasio] pay as much attention to emotional details as to the clockwork details of mob life.
FulvueDrive-in.com
Chuck O'Leary
Just misses ranking in the upper echelon of mob movies.
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
A classy piece of work that may disappoint those looking for something more conventional.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Unfortunately, the story isn't inventive and Newell's methodical approach to it verges on monotony.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A first-class Mafia thriller that is also, in its way, a love story.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Pacino and Depp are a match made in acting heaven, riffing off each other with astonishing subtlety and wit.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Though the outline of what the film has tried to do is visible, so little feels at stake emotionally that anyone intending to care about these characters would be well advised, for want of a better phrase, to simply fhuggedaboudit.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie has many human qualities and contains what will be remembered as one of Pacino's finest scenes.
USA Today
Susan Wloszczyna
Pacino cans the showboating bluster and gives a gently nuanced portrait of a simple man in decline.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
For all its treacheries, twists and turns, nothing really comes as a surprise.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
An affirmation that the director, Mike Newell, has a gift for talkative, intelligent films that make his actors shine.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
A consistently absorbing and intelligent adult entertainment.
Houston Chronicle
Jeff Millar
Depp is as good as I've seen him, and Pacino is simply astonishing.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
You get something far richer, if more unsettling, here than conventional crime drama's romanticism and easy analogies.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
At 34, Depp has finally scored a film that doesn't ask him to play down his intelligence.
