A bit "samey" but has to be seen by fans of gangster movies
By roncoach (369 reviews) from suffolk , 04 Sep 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
There are so many films of this genre and the era in which it was made that sometimes they all start blurring into one------
for me anyway ! Problem is.....they are all pretty good, whether it's de Niro, Pacino, Liotta, Penn, Pesci, etc.
But , as this one is part of the 'blur' ( and not in the category of The Godfather trilogy or Once Upon a Time in America or Goodfelllas ), then it just warrants 3 or 3.5 *s IMHO.
If you are a devotee of the genre at that time in its history, you'll like this film. Personally, de Niro and Pacino made such a 'glut' of them that quite often I find myself going back to watch movies of the same genre when they were called Film Noir in the 1940s.
But I digress. This movie is good and should not be missed by any fan of the gangster film genre.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Quercusmaximus (1 review) , 01 Jun 2013Excellent gritty story line, grippingly executed. Holds one's interest all the way through, even though the climax is a forgone conclusion. Puts more recent fast-paced action/drama/crime type movies to shame due to the fact that there's no easy, cop out, stupidly-fast cut, physics-defying, CGI-type cop-out sequences to give the impression of action that leaves you wondering what actually happened there, Superb acting. Must watch. Recommended; though some people might find it violent in places.- Was this review helpful to you?

Entertaining enough, worth a watch
By JamesWebs (1 review) , 07 Apr 2013I'm a lover of films in this genre and found the film entertaining enough with captivating performances from Pacino and Penn. I immediately liked the character of Carilito from the opening courtroom scene but felt that, like the side characters who were often caricatured, he wasn't given enough of a back-story which seems important when the film focuses on the change, or lack of change, he has gone through. Despite it feeling cheesy at times, which isn't helped by the lack of subtlety in the score, the film has some memorable dialogue and a genuinely tense final scene. I enjoyed the film and would recommend it.- Was this review helpful to you?

One of Al Pacino's best.
By Seaghost (3 reviews) , 30 Jan 2013Al Pacino + gangster movie = interest piqued Al Pacino + gangster movie + great supporting cast = definitely be worth a watch Brian De Palma directing (Al Pacino + gangster movie + great supporting cast) = an outstanding film which should be far better known!- Was this review helpful to you?
