Carlito's Way (1993)
With this cast I was sort of expecting another Scarface or Goodfellas, but was glad it was quite different. And seeing De Palma in action is always worth it. For a change, we have a main character who really wants to leave the criminal life and is generally clever about it, but of course it ain’t that easy in practice. In addition, the foundational love interest driving it all seemed genuine and believable like few other films in that genre. And that sense ending sequence really heightens everything where we see what makes De Palma being in a league of his own.
