De Palma's a legend for only casting Sean Penn as the most unlikable scumbags
Patrick WillemsMay 10, 201896 "Adiós, counselor." Brian De Palma sets the stage and Al Pacino just walks off, disco blaring. The two are usually only as electrifying as their material, and here, with a sharp, swooning machismo weepie, they both shine as bright as can be. De Palma's…

Al Pacino plays a Puerto Rican guy. Brian De Palma loves making him do Latino-face. My favorite Sean Penn performance ever. Dave Kleinfeld all-time scumbag. Better train station shoot out climax than The Untouchables? Yes. The scene at the end where the mob guys…
Will Menakerde palma's finest hour, his most absolute achievement, his showy, dreamy camera following a man who has nothing to hold onto but his dreams.

Although Carlito's Way in a sense represents the falling motion to Scarface's rising action, it lacks the nervous, overstuffed agitation of Scarface, replacing it with a kind of wistful, elegaic burnout, a paean to uninvolement, to not-doing, or doing other-than. Carlito's…

nathaxnne [goodbye <3]Sep 23, 2020Carlito's Way deserves all of the fame Scarface gets, this Brian De Palma & Al Pacino reunion owns so goddamn hard. Masterful direction on display here by De Palma with some terrific set pieces and a powerhouse performance from Al Pacino. The finale is an all-timer,…

al pacino is actually my godfather’s sister’s distant nephew’s cousin’s fish’s ex husband’s side piece’s great uncle al’s (different al)’s late paramour (may he rest in peace). great flick.

Nico likedCarlito's Way7/10 Entertaining story of a guy trying his best to get out of his old life. A lot of entertaining action scenes and a different romance story than usual. The relationship between Pacino and Penn is very dynamic and probably the main reason this movie is as good as it is. Ending is “predictable”…

“I swore id never break her heart, but yknow, things happen.” Sean Penn here has the most despicable punchable face i ever seen. Hate starting at the end then flashing back especially here cuz with the way things were going it became pretty clear how it was gonna end b4 it ended.
Cam Corri lovedCarlito's WaySean Penn is so underrated. This reminds me a bit of Scarface…Absolute banger. Pacino and De Palma have made a gripping crime drama that deserves much more attention. Moreover, the characters are so well written and the plot is so good it’s sometimes frustrating to watch (iykyk).
Edo lovedCarlito's WayPeople always say scarface is the best Pacino gangster flick - but this is it. Pacino makes you laugh, cry, get angry, wistful, philosophical and on the edge of your seat. You just want Carlito to do well ☹️

Landon Crawford lovedCarlito's WayAnother Al Pacino banger. Movie delivers in every way with everything coming full circle, especially with the amazing ending. Basically a different version of Scarface and I love it.
Draven Ramos lovedCarlito's WayThis movie is perfect! A heartbreaking tale of a bad criminal gone good and trying to escape the life. Al Pacino and De Palma again strike the perfect duo since De Niro and Scorsese.
Edward Kronkvist likedCarlito's WayWhen Brian De Palma and Al Pacino collaborate the results are always great. It’s like the good version of Scarface.

With a concluding chase/shoot-out episode that might even make Hitchcock jealous, Carlito's Way is a dandy piece of entertainment. If the story needs a bit more depth and reason, who really cares? There's hardly time to notice.

Austin Chronicle
The acting here, by Sean Penn, is a virtuoso tour de force - one of those performances that takes on a life of its own.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Carlito’s Way is perfectly okay entertainment, yet this 2-hour-and-21-minute movie never convinced me it wouldn’t have been every bit as good (if not better) as a lean and mean Miami Vice episode.
