rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cinderina - Carlito's Way stars Al Pacino, Sean Penn, and Penelope Miller in a gritty, riveting film with great acting by all. The film is worth watching just to see Sean Penn like you've never seen him before. Until I saw this film, I wasn't a big fan of Sean...

Fri, 3 Feb 2006 22:30:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bilavideo - Carlito's Way is an amazing little film, one that courts disaster with the same charm and inevitability as its title character. In its first scene, Carlito has just been gunned down while trying to board one of Chicago's famous "L" trains. This isn't a...

Fri, 30 Jan 2004 21:17:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nasty01 - Before I get started on the movie, I must clear something up with my former hip-hop reviewing cohorts. If you care to remember the first four Jay-Z albums, there are several Pain In Da Azz intros, where he shouts “OKAY I’M RELOADED!!!” Many...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thed_man - What's your favourite mobster movie scene? Is it the scene

in GOODFELLAS when TOMMY (Joe Pesci) shoots Spider for growing "cojones" and telling him to f*ck off? How about the "batting practise" scene in CASINO? (Brutal!) I think mine has to be Al...

Mon, 22 Jan 2001 10:55:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author George_Chabot - Carlito’s Way (1993)

Carlito’s Way is an unusually well scripted and crafted movie of the gangster genre. Directed by Brian DePalma and starring Al Pacino, as Carlito the movie is every bit as engrossing as their earlier...

mvie mu-1046335: "You remember me? Bennie Blanco from the Bronx."

Mon, 18 Sep 2000 22:59:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JackFoley - There are so many things in "Carlito's Way" that we have seen before. First off, it's a crime film. Second, it has Al Pacino as a gangster. It's directed by Brian DePalma, who has one of the most recognizable styles in the world aside from John...

mvie mu-1046335: Right way or wrong way, it's Carlito's way

Tue, 25 Jul 2000 16:07:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hercules - Brian De Palma and Al Pacino team up again for another great movie. Al Pacino fits right into his part as a former big-time Puerto Rican drug dealer. After playing Cuban Tony Montana in Scarface, this role isn't that much of a stretch for Pacino.

mvie mu-1046335: The Way of All Dreck

Sun, 25 Jun 2000 21:55:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author molotov - The long, short, simple, and sweet of it is this: Brian De Palma is an irredeemably talentless hack. Even lifting liberally from Hitchcock’s and Coppola’s Cliffs Notes, the man can’t direct his way out of a damp paper bag. He is a moocher and a magpie;...

Wed, 5 Apr 2000 22:21:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JonTurner - I just noticed that only 6 people have written an epinion on this film so I had to help get the word out. "Carlito's Way" teams up Al Pacino ("Godfather," "Heat," "The Insider," "Donnie Brasco," etc!)...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author 92483 - This is a great film. I enjoyed every minute of it and, no matter

how many times I see it, I continue to enjoy it. Al Pacino, who plays

the title role, was already one of my favorite actors, but this put him over the top. I LOVE this...

Fri, 10 Mar 2000 01:34:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jkerouac - You're typical Al Pacino tough guy flick, I was unimpressed. If you have ever seen other movies such as the Godfather series and Scarface, then this movie will be very predictable to you. If you haven't seen any of those movies yet then maybe this would...

Mon, 6 Mar 2000 00:36:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Giggles14227 - Al Pacino is one of my faves because not only is he sometimes a stud and a half, but he is such a brilliant actor! This is the best movie since "Scarface", which was also directed by Brian De Palma. Pacino just sets the screen on fire in the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BrianKoller - After the disastrous "Bonfire of the Vanities", director Brian De Palma recovered his career by making a sure-fire, more conventional film: a crime drama starring Al Pacino. While no one will put "Carlito's Way" in the same category...
