Every time I tap to add this movie to my wishlist the Google Play Store app crashes. I can add other movies to my wishlist but not this one. Wth?

An outstanding masterpiece of film, with two of the best, Johnny Depp who nailed the role as Donnie Brasco (Pistone), and Al Pacino as Lefty. Excellent casting, soundtracks, effects, and portrayal throughout the storyline, truly leaves you with such an impact by the end of it. Scene by scene, filled with great dialogue, based on the true story, makes me real sad that they don't make films like these anymore non-fiction or not. Although the ending was not what happend fully, still just as great!

Outstanding movie! Al Pacino is just amazing in the role of Benjamin "lefty guns" Ruggiero a down and out soldier in the Bonanno crime family. Johnny Depp is great as well
