Carlito's Way Audience Reviews

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
kamalapurs This is one Al movie which I like the most. Portrayal of Carlitos struggle to go clean is fantastic. Ultimately his struggle is in vain.
Bryan Bjerke I never even knew this film existed until recently. This film is vastly underrated and is on par, if not better than Scarface. The two films blend so well together, but yet offer a unique viewing experience for each film. It was nice seeing familiar faces in Carlito's Way coming from Scarface. The standout of this film however, has to be Sean Penn. His acting was so brilliant that without him, the film would've suffered quite a bit. In fact, his acting was so well done that the Grand Theft Auto series made a character based off of him (Ken Rosenberg). Just go out and watch it if you enjoy movies like Scarface, you won't be disappointed.
Johhny Night This is my first review and I must say I really admire those who come to this site to write thorough and interesting reviews. While I would really like to write in that tradition, to be completely honest I just don't think have the energy right now to do that. Thought I would though just mention a couple things I notice in the film which I find interesting. I've watched this movie so many times I've lost track of the number. Something I'm sure many here have done with their favorites.As mentioned in my title, there are some really funny contradictions in the story which can be found in the story line of many movies.Of course the most obvious is the reality of Johnny Briganti's pledge as stated in the summary "A Puerto Rican former convict, just released from prison, pledges to stay away from drugs and violence despite the pressure around him and lead on to a better life outside of N.Y.C."LOL..!!If you "pledge to stay away from drugs and violence", then I would recommend jumping out of that FlameMobil as soon as possible when Johnny "$30,000" Ortiz informs you he is making a delivery for the Senor.. lol..New Years weight loss pledges usually last longer than that one..And of course after the shootout at the pool hall Carlito turns the corner in the Bario and states as he throws his gun into the dumpster.. something to the effect.. "I'm not looking for this trouble.. it just finds me.."..lol.. Right..!!That's it for now... Don't know if I can update... We see.. Thanks
Sara Neves This movie is beautiful! I saw it when I was really young and I will never forget it, it marked me forever. Al Pacino's voice sounds just fine here, and all of the other actors played their role really well. Great movie aesthetic as well. Amazing photography and colors. Very good job.
