just watched Carlito's Way. what I liked in this movie was that it was getting better and better. first I thought it was a little over the top but it went getting better until the climax in the end, which totally worked. the 'noir' sequence in the end was really cool, and of course, surprising. not that it's as great as Scarface, but I really liked it. Pacino, of course was great and was the soul of this film.
