Movie Review by AJ 
April 14th, 2006

The first De Palma film I've seen that I've actually enjoyed, Carlito's Way is a snappy--if somewhat formulaic--crime flick that culls its mood and atmosphere from various sources: It sometimes seems like a hard-boiled noir with a hardened hero that still looks for love (Al Pacino's Carlito even likens himself to Humphrey Bogart at one point), sometimes an ambitious Goodfellas-esque gangster opera, and sometimes like the early 90's action movies screenwriter David Koepp (taking from two novels by Edwin Torres) is most known for. In the end, it's far from great, but it is certainly very entertaining. Plus it's also one of the few films where Sean Penn is tolerable.
