An FBI undercover agent infilitrates the mob and finds himself identifying more with the mafia life to the expense of his regular one.
Donnie Brasco contains an excellent cast which produces some great acting, which is one of the best things about this film. A very enjoyable movie.
Jackie Brown (1997) ***
A female flight attendant becomes a key figure in a plot between the police and an arms dealer.
IMO one of the most underrated films of the 90's and probably Tarantino's most underrated. Truly the "forgotten" gem of Tarantino's career. My personal favorite performance from this film comes from Robert Forrester. He was fantastic as the lonely bail bondsman Max Cherry. Pam Grier was great in this as the title character aswell.
The film features a great, complex plot and another great screenplay from Tarantino. The soundtrack was excellent, my favorite probably being "Strawberry Letter 23."
On The Waterfront (1954) *****
An ex-prize fighter turned longshoreman struggles to stand up to his corrupt union bosses.
Simply amazing. The acting is so riveting and excellent, it's like a template or a clinic if actors want to see what dynamite acting is. So many great performances in this film, particularily Brando in an electric performance. The scene in the car with Charlie is one of the greatest in the history of film. One of the greatest films I've ever seen.
