The car dialogue is so tense and done without music. Just squeaky leather seats and coats, and the rattle of a gun, and rubbing the ear with breathing - just like real life. 💯
So true. Michael Franzese's says this is the most realistic mob movie he's ever seen, and I tend to agree. There's not one character here that feels like a caricature of a real guy
Al Pacino has played all levels of gangster, and done every one of them so brilliantly. I love him in this movie, and I feel like this is the most realistic portrayal.
If you read the book the movie is absolutely wrong about everything especially portraying how close Donnie and Lefty where. They also made Lefty cooler than he really is he was a miserable broke POS
I'll never understand how Pacino wasn't nominated for best actor for this movie. 0:35 - 0:50 might be the single saddest character moments of his career. He has rarely humanized a character like this - I can't picture anyone else in this role.
@@devonwhite2443 Pacino should have back-to-back Oscars for Godfather 2 and Dog Day Afternoon. He should've been nominated for best actor alongside Brando instead of supporting for GF1.

In some sense, I always felt sympathy for Lefty. He was loyal to Donnie, albeit w his human failures. Mobster, yes, criminal, yes, but a sympathetic character in a human way.
He killed over 30 people for no real reason. 😂😂😂 He would have killed you and your whole family if he was told to. Thats what movies do though, make people dumb.
This was a test. If donnie didn't kill bruno, lefty was killing both of them. Also. Lefty earlier in the movie "you get sent for, you walk into a room and you dont walk out of it and it's your best friend that does it". Also lefty to donnie "i never said you was a rat, IM YOUR BEST FRIEND" donnie stops in his tracks 😂
If you’re caught or suspected to be lying even about the littlest thing and not being able to explain yourself then it literally could end up with a ‘sit down’. The real Joe Pistone (Donnie Brasco) explained this in an interview which I found fascinating.
The movie is great. Seen Andrew Dice Clay on the Stern show circa 2000s? He always references scenes with Artie. And for the people who don't know about Dice. Guy was the biggest comic of all time back in the day. Possibly still is in regards to ticket sales and arenas played it. Has a similar look, leather, smoking, combing his hair, fucking around.
Very true, but not a lot of guys in this movie were B listers-certainly not Johnny Depp, Michael Madden or Bruno Kirby. Anne Heche also did a great job
i love the ambiguity of lefty holding the gun towards Donnie when they were about to do the hit, it can be read as it was suppose to motivate him to do it by force or lefty having a gut feeling beyond everything was going to take Donnie out the minute he pulled the trigger on sonny red's son.
This is - in a dark and twisted way - almost heart-wrenching! I know it didn't went down like this and the director added this scene just for "high-tension" and drama purposes - but to watch Lefty crying to him: "Don't say nothing, Donnie! Don't say nothing!" makes you realize how close they were to him and even in the last seconds they couldn't believe he was a Fed. ...even though it wasn't Lefty but Sonny and Anthony Mirra who paid the ultimate price for him being able to infiltrate their ranks... PS. Damn! What a movie!
yea for purposes of movie making they kept this close relationship with Lefty. In real life Joe Pistone and Sonny black were very close. Lefty was very cold towards "Donnie" and was a psychopath. It was actually Sonny Black that was called for a sit-down and he left his stuff for the bar tender. He also left the message that he did not have any ill feelings towards Joe after he found out he was a agent and said he was happy it was him.
@@sjacrane Seems like it based on your statement. Lefty was good guy. He might have been outside the law but his actions are based on morals 100% of the time.

He wasn’t high up he was just a soldier. He talks about it on the movie, how he constantly get passed over for promotion and left out of a lot of things.
@@paddysmith461 yeah to an extent. Remember when Sonny Black was talking to Donny about Lefty, Sonny says he’ll always be grateful for Lefty taking care of his family while he was in prison.
Great scene, here is something you may not know Joe Pistone was on the set every day and so were wiseguys who were there as advisors..-Eddie Black actor in the movie I was one of the Sonny Black crew the guy who had the truck full of steak knives.Manache.
Must have been retired wise guys or something because there is still a bounty on his head! How did he get away with being there everyday if they were there to?
I can believe Joe Pistone was there maybe, but only him, no way a mafia guy would be on the set with Joey no fucking way. You know what they would do to him if they found out that?
ok so this is my interpretation of the scene, and what's going on in pacino's head. but i think that he's been suspicious of donny ever since he met him... and his personality.. he's so stubborn, it would be just like him to repeat 'everythings going to be ok donny! don't tell them nothing!' in an ironic way. that's how he is. so at the very end, i think he knew it was him the whole time, he had resigned to it. and in his last cries of defeat he mocked donny, in a sort of 'I know who you are but I don't care we're friends!' sort of final speech.
Bad interpretation suspicion is different from actually secretly believing it. And he had none until he saw the boat clipping. Further supported by when the FBI came and exposed donnie, lefty's face was shock and disbelief as he realized he was right. Def did not think he was fully at this point
I don't think he knew it was him the whole time, he knew after reading the boat article though. Lefty was a true mafia guy he wouldn't just let all of this play along the whole time.
I don't think thats what the movie was portraying. I think he was suspicious after the boat incident but Donnie had convinced him he wasn't a rat, he didn't want to believe it no matter what because the embarrassment and his inevitable death. It didn't dawn on him until the FBI showed him pictures of Donny being sworn in that he truly was a rat and he still didn't want to admit it to Sonny afterwards when Sonny says "they almost had me going for a sec there, good thing you know him so well Lefty" and Lefty says "yea I know Donnie well" realizing he never really knew Donnies background at all and that he had been fooled.
When someone is lying they always say "you gotta believe me, why would I lie, etc". If theyre telling you the truth they just say what happened and dont try to convince you of anything.
I thought that Al Pacinos' character of Lefty Ruggiero was more of a flunkey of the Mob. I read the biography of the real Lefty Ruggiero and it said he was a stone cold killer for the Mob.
Lefty’s character was more accurate to Sonny Black in real life, they switched the round for narrative reasons I guess, so that Donnie was basically always dealing with Lefty from the start and it builds their relationship up.
Ugh, I know. I feel bad for him having to deal with that during his best decade in films. It's noticeable in The Devil's Advocate, too, which was in the same year as this one. But his nails look fine in The Insider.
Felt so bad when Lefty was all "you'll be alright Donnie, don't say nothing".
Breaks my heart every time.

In real life that part is absolutely true, and Pistone grew very close to both Sonny Black and Ben Ruggerio (Lefty).
Talking about acting
So realistic
He moved the gun barrel the second time, because that must have hurt the first time XD
When someone is lying they always say "you gotta believe me, why would I lie, etc". If theyre telling you the truth they just say what happened and dont try to convince you of anything.
Leftie is holding his gun by right hand...
He only shoots dice with his left
He shot guns with either
They should reboot as series and include an Anthony Mirra character.
Thanks for protecting me from the swear words
Leather jackets against leather seats = ASMR……..Forget about it…….😅
He knew..
Yes. Lefty knew it
ish ..
I thought that Al Pacinos' character of Lefty Ruggiero was more of a flunkey of the Mob. I read the biography of the real Lefty Ruggiero and it said he was a stone cold killer for the Mob.
I think he mentions how many ppl he’s killed for the mob
Lefty’s character was more accurate to Sonny Black in real life, they switched the round for narrative reasons I guess, so that Donnie was basically always dealing with Lefty from the start and it builds their relationship up.
In the real world, Lefty lived. Sonny Black was the one who was whacked for Joe getting close to the mafia.
3:43 That FBI guy gingerly jogging down through the scene always gets me.
These are two of the best to act imo.. great great movie
This was Al Pacinos best performance. Bar none
Just noticed at 2:33 Al suffering from a bad case of fungus on his thumbnail shit sucks.
Ugh, I know. I feel bad for him having to deal with that during his best decade in films. It's noticeable in The Devil's Advocate, too, which was in the same year as this one. But his nails look fine in The Insider.
You’re alright Donnie!
There’ll be a mouthpiece there in 24 hours Donnie!! 😢
they should have beep the *rat* word as well 😎
Lefty was such a pathetic character but to her his granddaughter on Mob Wives, he was this big success
The movie pretty clearly illustrates that the people who manage the FBI have no interest in eradicating organized crime.
Johnny Depp betrayed Al Pacino even worse than Amber Heard did to him
What is Bruno trying to do with that hook?
That guy on the boat..is the one who beats a guy on the street with a iron 5 in the sopranos
Mustang Sally?
the sadness in is eye is so catching .,,..
Did you see the FBI pat him on the back, just noticed that
Yea there it is, at least. best acting
I m ur best friend 😂 that's the time he knows he g0nna see the creator
Love the sound of those leather jackets.
Was that Timmy Mallet waving the gun about?
A mole not a rat
1 of best movie made
