Fuggadaboutit

Some movies are so good that you'll even watch them on a Saturday morning on TNT, sliced up by commercials and their dialogue butchered with dubbing. "Donnie Brasco" is one of those films. Al Pacino gives what is arguably the best performance of the latter portion of his career (though "Carlito's Way" might also qualify) and perhaps his most nuanced performance since "The Godfather, Part II." Pacino takes a lot of guff from critics for some of the bad choices he's made the last 10 years or so, but every once in a while he demonstrates that he is still capable of brilliance (i.e., "Insomnia").
