After the amazing Godfather series, Pacino has had a great career with films like Donnie Brasco, Heat and Scarface. But for me, this is, and always will be his greatest film. His performance is outstanding. I haven't yet seen Scarface but it comes highly recommended, and after this hit, I'm positive its very good.
Sean Penn is also excellent, as is every other member of the cast including one of my favourite actors, John Leguizamo. His character, Benny, adds a little bit more to the works.
The story is intriguing too. Hard ass gangster, Carlito tries to give up life on the street but his so called best friend and lawyer, keeps pulling him back down. His relationship with his ex girlfriend is nice and steady, and you get a real sense of their love for one another.
Watch Carlito's Way because it is one of the greatest gangster films in movie history. Rating=5/5
