Charles R. @themoviedad Feb 12 I really enjoyed the storytelling in Carlito’s Way, particularly how Carlito tries so hard to reach his version of Paradise but can never truly escape his past life. Time and again, he chooses what he believes will secure his future, even though he knows those decisions will ultimately be detrimental to him. The subtle hints of people slowly turning their backs on him are a great touch, keeping you unsure of who is truly loyal until the very end. While some parts felt a bit slow for my liking, that pacing seems more like a product of the era in which the film was made. Overall, I really enjoyed this film.

See more Alec B @Alec97 Jan 22 De Palma elevates the already good script to a Shakespearian tragedy. To reveal the ending up front and then make you completely forget about it until the movie comes back to that scene is a remarkable achievement.

Al Pacino gives one of his most nuanced turns, balancing regret, hope, and inevitability, while Sean Penn’s electric supporting role adds volatility and moral decay in equal measure. Their performances anchor a film filled with violence, shifting loyalties, and complex storytelling, allowing the brilliant script to breathe beneath the genre trappings. De Palma’s direction gives the story operatic weight, but it’s the character work that makes the tragedy resonate. Stylish, tense, and emotionally grounded, Carlito’s Way stands as one of the most human and compelling crime films of its era.
