Movie Review by B Movie Ben

September 1st, 2007

The dream don't come no closer by itself.

Is there a bad Al Pacino performance? Maybe, but I don't recall seeing one. This was another great and gritty film with Pacino in the lead directed by Brian De Palma.

The film also had superb performances by Sean Penn as David Kleinfeld:

"f*ck you and your self-righteous code of the goddamn streets. Did it pull you out of a 30 year stint in only 5 years? No, it didn't, I did. Did it get you acquitted 4 f*cking times? No, it didn't, I did, so f*ck you, f*ck the streets, your whole goddamn world is this big, and there's only one rule, you save your own ass."

And Penelope Ann Miller as Gail:

Carlito: Hey lady, I know you. Gail: Buzz off. Carlito: Yeah, I know you, you used to go out with that good-looking guy, what was his name again? Oh yeah, Carlito Brigante. Gail: Charlie.

As a bonus, we also get John Leguizamo, Luis Guzm�n, and Ingrid Rogers getting f*cked in the bathroom in her first film.

WOW!

Skintastic Moment: Penelope Ann Miller gives us a first class look at her C's as she peels on a strip club stage.
