vengeful scheme of a young man who goes
to Manhattan to kill his father’s
murderer Amsterdam I’m New York don’t
you never come in here empty-handed
again you gotta pay for the pleasure of
my company
taking to heart the old adage keep your
friends close and your enemies closer
Amsterdam Vallon infiltrates bill the
butcher cuttings inner circle I lost
proof of it in my language at the asylum
I was raised in a very similar
establishment myself now everything you
see belongs to me for one degree or
another if the teaming up of Daniel
day-lewis Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin
Scorsese isn’t enough to convince you of
the film’s merit then perhaps the 10
Oscar nominations including ones for
Best Picture Best Actor and Best
Director will do the trick
all right let’s use good night to that
pretty on the face of yours
number nine The Fast and the Furious
your cop
let’s go for a little ride this is the
first in a series of action flicks that
it eventually make up Universal Studios
biggest franchise ever
following an undercover cop who’s trying
to figure out a street racers
involvement in a series of thefts The
Fast and the Furious features the late
Paul Walker in a role that earned him
mainstream fame you get a win while
wrapped up in the street racing scene
Brian O’Conner winds up falling for the
cars the lifestyle and the hot sister
the only thing that pulled me in is you
being friends of your brothers just a
bonus thanks to its exciting storyline
and incredible action sequences the film
was a box-office smash and spawned
multiple sequels number 8 Reservoir Dogs
we got a rat in the house I guarantee we
got a Retton house in typical Quentin
Tarantino fashion this nonlinear story
follows a diamond heist gone horribly
wrong you’re hurt you’re real bad what
you ain’t dying the band of thieves
didn’t even know each other before the
robbery and most of them have adopted
fake names mr. Brown mr. white mr.
blonde mr. blue mr. orange mr. pink
why not mr. pink because you’re a faggot
all right after realizing the police are
always one step ahead of them the group
comes to believe that one of their crew
is most likely an informant for all I
know you’re the rat whoa you know man
all right now you’re using your head
despite being produced on a modest
budget Reservoir Dogs boasted a stellar
cast and became Tarantino’s big
Hollywood break hero
number seven Serpico
that is one hell of a mustache I wish I
had the guts well I I have what I
consider to be good reasons for wearing
if this based on a true story movie
teaches us anything it’s that snitches
get stitches an undercover cop walks
around in disguise or in black shoes and
white sign everybody knows who he is you
made your point
Al Pacino plays Frank Serpico a truthful
cop who goes undercover to sniff out the
corruption that’s plaguing his own
police force and ends up becoming a
target I’m a marked man in this
department for what I’ve already
arranged the transfer for you to wear
China but what makes the crime drama so
great is that the characters honest
efforts are hardly fictionalized and the
real Frank Serpico has since been
recognized as a hero maybe this is what
it’s all about maybe I should take my
gold shield and forget it I know you’ve
been through an ordeal Frank Pacino also
received an Oscar nod for Best Actor in
a leading role for his depiction of the
real-life legend I did the work broke my
ass on this is my car number six face
off what if you could walk into air1
prison and give Pollux a nice big
brotherly hug as castor Troy
I have no idea what you’re talking about
before these two actors became more
associated with internet memes and weird
antics they collaborated on this little
gem John Travolta and Nicolas Cage take
their commitment to going undercover to
a whole new level when their characters
an FBI agent and a terrorist
respectively switch faces and assume
each other’s identities aah adulterer
shut up honey don’t listen to him honey
he’s not your father
despite the premise being incredibly
silly and far-fetched the
science-fiction thriller is actually
quite entertaining as far as action
movies go
face off also allowed the actors to
shine by playing two different
personalities which was another bonus
let’s just kill each other
number five Eastern Promises how can I
become king kicking you stealing place
David Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen
team up for this dark thriller about a
midwife who accidentally gets involved
with the Russian mafia
yes her only dress I was hoping to speak
to the manager Keith Romo my dad was
Russian this also leads her to the
undercover agent played by Mortensen who
is posing as a driver for the criminals
in order to build a case against them
even dueling machines this same young my
boss finds out I let guests walk home in
the rain he will fire me although
Viggo’s accent was reportedly
unconvincing to native Russians his
portrayal of Nikolai was authentic
enough to scare the crap out of locals
who mistook him for the real thing and
earned him an Oscar nod okay now I’m
going to do his teeth and cut off his
fingers you might want to leave room
number four American hustle
I wanted to bother you if I really
wanted to bother you this is what I do
I’ll try to Bob that’s what I would do
in this comedy drama Amy Adams and a
rather shabby Christian Bale play a
couple of 70s con artists who are caught
by the FBI I may not have you Irving but
I have her on fraud impersonating
another one visual on Froy yeah she may
not be a metaphor you may be from
England but you’re not real and you have
no banking connections they are then
coerced into helping an aggressive agent
pull off a sting operation to implicate
a slew of political figures I’m placing
$60,000 into this briefcase from one
congressman and Raqqah show you to the
fourth this tree I’m gonna do what I can
to help carmine featuring an impressive
cast of Hollywood’s creme de la creme
like Jennifer Lawrence Jeremy Renner and
a jheri curl Bradley Cooper
the movie was nominated for 10 Academy
Awards including Best Picture I believed
that you should treat people the way
they wanna be treated you know didn’t
you say that some man I think also
always take a favor over money I think
Jesus said as well number three Point
Break I am an FBI agent I know man in my
home before Paul Walker learned to drive
with street racers piano Reeves was
learning to catch waves the traveling on
the money going where the waves are
that’s right the ex-presidents rip-off
breaks the finance that in the song this
totally tubular film follows an FBI
agent who goes undercover as a beach bum
in order to investigate a string of bank
robberies believed to be committed by a
group of gnarly surfers directed by
oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow
of The Hurt Locker Fame and also
starring Patrick Swayze this bitching
film has rightfully earned its stripes
it’s a state of mind
it’s that place where you lose yourself
and you find yourself you don’t know it
yet but you got it it’s right there it
was a box-office smash and later became
a cult action classic
number two Donnie Brasco you donned a
jeweler
yeah
based on a true story this crime drama
follows an FBI agent who assumes the
identity of a jewel thief named Donnie
Brasco so he can become a part of a New
York Mafia family it’ll be a made guy
Donnie
a copy
yeah he’s so good at his job that he
nearly winds up losing himself in the
role fish Donnie Brasco is one of those
morally ambiguous stories where the
audience may find themselves hoping
Johnny Depp and Al Pacino get to ride
off into the sunset together in our
thing
you get sent for you’re going alive you
come out dead and it’s your best friend
that does it before we uncover our top
pick here are a few honorable mentions I

undoubtedly it’s a vengeance burned
number one The Departed you want to
appear to be a cop a remake of the 2002
Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs The
Departed may seem like your typical
undercover crime movie but the star
quality of everyone attached to the
project made it a shoe-in at the Oscars
we are all convinced the customer has at
least one mole inside the Special
Investigations Unit back you will
investigate everybody and anybody with
cops trying to find the mole in their
department while the mob guys
simultaneously look for their rat The
Departed plays with the theme of
identity in a complex and entertaining
way just will my identity back alright
