Donnie Brasco (1997) (Blu-ray & DVD) (UK Import)
The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.
DVDMost of the offered DVDs have the region code 2 for Europe and the PAL picture format. However, we also offer releases from the USA, which come on the market in NTSC format and with the country code 1. This is then indicated in our item details.

FBI-Spitzenmann Joe Pistone schleust sich als Undercover-Agent Donnie Brasco in die Mafia ein. Vier Jahre liefert er - völlig auf sich und seine Fähigkeiten angewiesen und unter ständiger Lebensgefahr - dem FBI wichtige Informationen über den Gangster-Clan, um die Bande für immer zu zerschlagen.
Immer tiefer und tiefer gerät Donnie in den Sog der Kriminalität. Schließlich wird er zur rechten Hand des berüchtigten Mafioso Lefty Ruggiero, dessen Vertrauen und Freundschaft er gewinnen kann. Als den Gangstern klar wird, daß in ihren Reihen ein Verräter sitzt, bleibt Donnie Brasco nur noch eine Chance. Auf der Flucht vor den skrupellosen Killern der Mafia, muß er Lefty dem FBI ans Messer liefern, bevor es ihm selber an den Kragen geht...
Al Pacino and Johnny Depp star in this crime drama directed by Mike Newell. In late 1970s New York, FBI agent Joe Pistone (Depp) goes undercover to infiltrate the Mafia as his alter-ego Donnie Brasco. He befriends ageing hitman Lefty Ruggerio (Pacino) who inducts him into the ways of the mob. As Brasco, Pistone becomes immersed in the world of organised crime and violence, but at the same time comes to regard Lefty as a friend. He knows, however, that when his assignment is over and his cover blown, it will mean certain death for the man who has taken him under his wing. The cast also includes Michael Madsen, Bruno Kirby and James Russo.
