    I recall renting Carlito's Way when I was young and thinking it was a pefect movie at the time. I haven't seen it since. It was so good I just savored the experience. I recently picked it up on 4k and I'm looking forward to watching it again.

    That pool scene in Carlitos Way and the chainsaw scene from Scarface are so identical in terms of tenseness, I love it. Yeah, my mom showed me Scarface and Carlito's Way when I was a teenager and loved them both ever since. Both have that GTA Vice City vibe and that videoame is a big part of my childhood.

    It's also important to note that the Arrow is (probably) going to have better compression than the Universal 4K. Arrow compression is going to be better than the compression on a studio label basically 99/100 times.

My favorite films of his are dressed to kill, scarface, body double, carrie and his most underrated are casualities of war and blow out with travolta. if you havent seen those their both fantastic!

Being such a fan of this film, I actually didn't mind when someone I knew had nicknamed me Carlito! Anyway, great review, I already have this on preorder and can't wait to check it out, as I've been in the mood to see it again.

    Brian De Palma is a phenomenal director, all his movies have a certain flair and addictive style which are unique to him.
    I'd also recommend you to watch:
    1) Blow Out (his best film ever)
    2) Carrie
    3) Sisters
    4) Casualties of War
    5) The Untouchables

    Awesome review Ken! Yeah I've become a big De Palma fan myself (I even just did a top 10 list of his films), and I can't wait to get this one from Arrow. I saw Carlito's Way in the theaters when it first came out and loved it... I was on a huge Al Pacino kick for a number of years back then (he used to be my all-time favorite actor). For me, his best roles were Scarface and Scent of a Woman (followed closely by Dog Day Afternoon). But Carlito's Way is up there too!

    Al Pacino is Arguably the greatest actor of our times. Robert De Niro and Pacino are in a different league to everyone else. Sean Penn is great in this movie. Ive not seen this for a while Ken. I’ve got the Arrow exclusive artwork for this one back home in the Uk. Should be waiting for me to watch when I get home from working here in the states. I recommend A Bronx tale for anyone who likes these type of films.
