An adaptation of the real life story of a family that gave their all to bring down a major organized crime family. It is not just the law enforcement officers who paid but their families who had to live in fear with absent members unable to support them. A moving, dramatic, and intense story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Pacino and Depp are a perfect match for their roles and their talent shines. Impressive.

This film is very, very good, it proves hard to find in video shops but this should not be a deterrent for anyone. It is a brilliant film and both Johnny Depp and Al Pacino are brilliant. I recommend this to anyone and everyone who is a fan of Johnn Depp, Al Pacino or mob movies. I loved it and generally mob films are not my thing but I adore this film.

This movie is acted superbly by both Johnny Depp and Al Pacino, so much so that you can forget that they are big name actors and just get right into the characters they are playing. The story itself is gritty and compelling and also sad. A real and tangible friendship is felt between Depp and Pacino’s characters that is not often seen in a movie. Very good.
