No intention here to take a pot shot at a movie you like but this is an AL THING. I agree that Sean Penn was wonderful. My jaw drops everytime I see him in that film . What bugs me about Carlito's is -I get the feeling Al Pacino is enjoying playing a "homey" street-wise bad-ass TOUGH GUY ... WAY more then I enjoy watching him . He seemed to gravitate torwards this kind of persona the last 20 years or so. What happened to soft-spoken Michael Corleone ? Serpico ? Francis in Scarecrow ? Arthur Kirkland in And Justice for All ? Bobby Deerfield ?
It seems that after Scarface , Al Pacino COMPLETELY changed his acting persona. Although he's logged in some great post Scarface roles , I can't help but notice the strange metamorphis of Al.
