brian de palma's strengths are on full display here. the buildup of tension, the careful camera work - at times tight, economical, focused, at times showy and expressive (that beginning!) - the action scenes as minutely staged as the fake billiard trick shot that precedes the first one. al pacino is amazing, and so is the writing for him. from the very start in the court room, there is both a showmanship and an ambiguity. while that was voluntary, gratuitous, and triumphant, we next see it in that bathroom scene, with carlito in the dark, trying to bluff his way out using his reputation. and... read

52 years in 52 weeks 1993 watched this on itunes. *looks at watch* wow, i didn't know this was over 2 hours! the pacing was really damn good and felt way shorter than the actual runtime. i just love brian depalma movies, and for a non-sleazy depalma flick this is really fantastic. the performances were really good as well. that chase and shootout was amazing, i was getting the shakes even though the ending is already told in the movie's opening. recommended! read
