Carlito's Way

Quickly, as I would rather be doing other things than talk about this movie I just saw. Brian De Palma does an incredible job of creating a feel for the streets here. And he also got a lot of help from Pacino, who has mastered this whole street schtick.

This film is very good. It is long and tends to move slow but in doing that, time is taken to examine and magnify situations in Carlito's life. Careful attention is paid to the way he handles his quest for money to go on vacation in the Bahamas. And carefully, the fact that he cannot just quit being "dirty" comes alive. No matter what, he will always be involved.

8/10



Recommend this...and yes, it's way better than any Mission Impossible movie.
