De Palma's a legend for only casting Sean Penn as the most unlikable scumbags
-

"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 set-pieces, whether operatic (the final nightclub/train station chase) or intimate (the playful seduction between Carlito and Gail behind the apartment door) are perfect, and Pacino is given plenty of space to create. A key moment for both artists involves Carlito waiting in the bathroom and taunting the assailants outside after a drug-deal gone bad. De Palma watches from above with a high-angle as Carlito gets up the courage to leave the room, but even before…

Once it was "The World is Yours", now it's "Escape to Paradise". Shit ain't what it used to be.

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 Way is more of a piece with The Untouchables, both sweeping historical epics which have the time and space to collect themselves, develop characters, build whole worlds in which to enact tensely clever set-pieces, some of the best of De Palma's career. Carlito's Way and The Untouchables also share a grand, constructed artificiality. They know they are movies, hearkening back to an older-school vibe, when movies had to span the whole of what cinema could do, to offer suspense…

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 chase him on the subway and through grand central, and one of them is comically fat always kills me.
-
this fucks so hard. it's so good it makes me want to scream. the subway chase scene gave me the biggest adrenaline rush i thought i was gonna pass out and al pacino talking in spanish gave me my rights
-
I'm a bit sad by the fact that Carlito's Way is a bit "shadowed" by the most appreciated De Palma's movie (Scarface) because this has to be the greatest anti-gangster movie of all time, and Al Pacino always makes me doubt about my heterosexuality
-
De Palma's magnum opus, a visual masterwork rife with hyper-masculine commonalities and grandiose desires—a man pining for something greater but imprisoned by his previous life—a rebirth saga. Extremely optimistic yet deeply sad. And people continued to make gangster films after this? Fuck.
-
Carlito'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, featuring the greatest foot chase sequence in film history. -
