"An unashamed study of selfish, sadistic criminality, and all the better for it." - Tom Huddleston, Time Out
"The dominant mood of the film is anything but funny. It is bleak and futile: What goes up must always come down. When it comes down in Scarface, the crash is as terrifying as it is vivid and arresting." - Vincent Canby, New York Times
"Painted in exuberant, extravagant swaths of red, Brian De Palma's foolhardy epic is a thing of delirious grandeur." - Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

20th anniversary! CARLITO'S WAY 1993, USA, 144 minutes, 35mm, Universal Pictures Directed by Brian De Palma Screenplay by David Koepp Based on novels by Edwin Torres Starring Al Pacino, Sean Penn, Penelope Ann Miller, John Leguizamo, Luis Guzmán Fri: 10:40; Sat: 5:45 pm
"'Carlito's Way,' like 'Scarface,' is first and last a character study, a portrait of a man who wants to be better than he is." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"A masterful piece of entertainment anchored by an interesting story and fine performances and hoisted by an intoxicating field of vision that nevertheless, maintains a sharply focused perspective." - Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle
"'Carlito's Way' is best watched as lively, colorful posturing and as a fine demonstration of this director's bravura visual style." - Janet Maslin, New York Times
