Pretty good movie it's an oldie classic. Sean Penn's hair drive me nuts. Trying to stay clean was not in the cards for Pacino's character.

Al Pacino's acting and personality changes of a criminal man, you don't need anything more

Same director as Scarface. A great movie about a former coke dealer aspiring to get on the straight and narrow, with added complications.

Pacino’s acting and De Palma’s directing are unsurprisingly great, but the themes are a bit too familiar for this to be too special

Same reality as Scarface if he'd been locked up then got out is a great comment I've seen on this, Pacino makes it so easy to enjoy 👌

Gritty mob movie, feels familiar given the cast and the tropes of the genre, which stops it from being an all time classic

Not the most original premise but I enjoy a good gritty crime thriller. Pacino was great.

Here De Palma's excess combines perfectly with Pacino's acting. Great crime thriller.

Peak Pacino, not sure that's a good thing.

Pacino excellent as always. Good watch as he tries to stay clean after getting out of prison but can’t. Slow but I think very worth it
