Redundant and unnecessary.
How sad is this?
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Admirable film.
Most of the movie is very slow and not impressive. The movie is just a set up for the final 30 minutes. Sean Penn was a little out of form for this movie. I feel anyone could have played that character.
More than simply a gangster movie, a great drama. Good plot, superb acting by Al Pacino and Sean Penn. And Brian De Palma's direction was excellent, for once more than a B-grade version of Martin Scorsese. (Scarface was another exception).
I'm not capable of writing review for this movie. I saw it for the first time about 20 years ago and only God knows how many times since and it still left me speechless once again. I can't say this is Pacino's best role, because whichever movie with him I saw last that's his best role for the moment. Pacino is, in my opinion, one of the very best actors in history and Carlito's way is one of my all time favorite movies. Probably in top 10 and surely above Godfather.10/10
from start to finish this movie is absolutely ridiculous. love al pacino, i love gangster flicks, this is not a decent representation of either. i cannot believe this movie gets such great reviews!!! 75 % of the scenes seem like satire they are so corny. the acting in this film is a giant fart sniff and the best part is............ the opening credits give the whole damn thing away! half way thru the movie you realize whats going on unless you resemble any of the idiots in the cast. garbage, poopoo. apparently, they won't let me submit this review unless i add a few more lines about how craptastic this waste of time donkey balls movie is. so, here you go, the main lady was terrible! watch the bathroom scene. anywhoozle.....this movie blows, don't listen to all the corn balls. made for TV garbanzo beans.
