"Pacino creates a quiet space around himself. His acting, which is marvelous, big without ostentation, compliments Brando's. Like Brando, Pacino is simple; you don't catch him acting, yet he manages to change from a small, fresh-faced, darkly handsome college boy into an underworld lord, becoming more intense, smaller and more isolated at every step." - Pauline Kael's original New Yorker review of Al as Mike
