A great movie

For some reasons, I have always been fascinated  by this movie. It probably had to do with the fact that I was very young when I saw it (I was probably around 14 years old), at that point, I haven’t watched yet so many gangster features such as ‘The Godfather’ or even ‘Scarface’ and it probably made me appreciate more this movie. Anyway, somehow, even though this movie has some very strong ratings (according to IMDb, it is the 2^nd best movie directed by Brian De Palma only behind ‘Scarface’), it seems to be rather forgotten nowadays which is rather sad because I really believe it is actually one of the very best movies in this genre. Indeed, 10 years after ‘Scarface’, Brian de Palma and Al Pacino were working again together but, even though it was another crime feature dealing with some latino gangster, both movies were actually really different. Indeed, the big difference was that Carlito was not such a bad guy but, even though he really wanted to get straight, he kept getting pulled back in this dirty business and this process was just so fascinating and heartbreaking to behold. Anyway, to conclude, I think it is actually one of the best crime movies ever made and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
