Excellent film. One of Pacino's best in my opinion, a lot of people say this is too similar to "Scarface" (1983), but even if it is. I'm sure most people wouldn't care and they would still enjoy the movie. I find it funny that exactly ten years after "Scarface" Brian DePalma and Al Pacino team up again to tell the story of a Puerto Rican ex-con who tries to clean up his act, but unfortunately his friends, and ties with the streets take him back to the gangster life he's trying to avoid. Al Pacino's performance as Carlito Brigante is easily the highlight of the film. Sean Penn's performance as David Kleinfeld was amazing too. Highly recommended. Check it out.
