Title: Restrained DePalma
Product review: The Bottom Line:Probably a better film that Scarface when you come right down to it (though certainly less iconic), Carlito's Way is an engaging drama about a criminal (Pacino in top form) trying to go straight that avoids the cliches you would expect, features a wonderfully scuzzy performance by Sean Penn as Pacino's lawyer, and has a couple of standout sequences (the pool hall scene is a truly great one); Carlito's Way is marred a little by its curious choice to show the ending first but it's really a fine film that's deserves a better reputation than it has.3.5/4
