      Chuck Bowen Slant Magazine Dreams can die but nightmares can flourish, an understanding brought about by the disillusionment that every De Palma hero experiences. Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Michael Sragow New Yorker Penn, in curled hair and wire-rims, makes a brilliant, slippery high-end shyster; his modulated hysteria is amazing. So is Brian De Palma's direction. Mar 23, 2015 Full Review Zach Campbell Slant Magazine As with so many De Palma films, Carlito's Way soon manifests as an essay on its own forms. Rated: 4/4 Sep 9, 2006 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Pacino and especially Penn are terrific, and De Palma again masterminds a pair of superb set-pieces. Rated: 3/4 Nov 12, 2023 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The performances here are what needs to be viewed, they make the film what it is. They are powerful and just right... Rated: 4.5/5 Sep 30, 2023 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a top-tier endeavor from a decidedly erratic filmmaker. Rated: 3.5/4 May 31, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      Jim P A typical gangster flick. Well-made and slick. Dreams are good, but life gets in the way… Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Jonathan O One of the best gangsta crime drama thriller of the 90's Brain De Palma did really phenomenal directing along with really strong cast by not other than award winner Al Pacino and the cinematography looks fantastic and great editing and really amazing songs and terrific score on film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Wallace L One of my favorite movies. It is easily a must watch for everyone. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Dare D This and Donnie Brasco are my favorite Al Pacino films. You won't be disappointed watching this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Priyan B An underrated masterpiece!!! 9/10 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Byte I Knew Al Pacino From Scarface I Used To Say That Scarface Is The Best Drug-Crime Film, I Even Used To Say Scarface Is Better Than Godfather But Yeah It Is A Bit Better Than The Godfather. But Then Everyone Was Saying About Scarface 2, Later I Know That They Call Carlito's Way Scarface 2 So I Got Interested That Why They Call It Scarface 2 Even Though It's Not Connected A Bit To Scarface. But When I Watched It OMG It's Better Than Scarface Bro Tony Montana Acts Like A Selfish, Drug Addict , And Kills Everybody Like An Animal But Carlito Was An Human Yeah I Still Call It Scarface 2 But Yeah It's Way Better Than Scarface 1983. And If You Want To Watch Carlito's Way (Scarface 2) 1993 You Can Download It From Moviesmod.org Dual Audio Hindi And English Yeah I'm Indian I've Watched It In Both Language Hindi And English But I'll Say Just Watch It This Story Is More Superior Than Scarface And The Character Is More Human Than Tony Montana! But They Call It Scarface 2 Cuz Both Characters Are Immigrant Carlito Life Is Similar To Tony What If Tony Didn't Die In Scarface And Got To Jail What Life Tony Will Face After He Got Out Of Jail Both Characters Died At The End, Both Characters Kill Their Friend At The End, Both Film Have Same Director, Producer And Actor "Al Pacino" My Favourite Actor Of All Time, Both Film Have Drug Business. BUT STILL You Should And Must Watch Carlito's Way (Scarface 2) You'll Love It. 5 Out Of 5 Stars, Absolute Must Watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
