Carlito's Way (1993) - 5/10

Far and away the most uninspired work ive seen from DePalma. There really isnt any piece of this film that isnt unispired save for Sean Penn and a single scene with Vigo Mortensen. The writing, the cinematography, the score, hell the casting. Its all safe. Challenging no one in the production or the audience at any level.

Now that said none of it is bad. I cant point to anything and say its done poorly. It isnt egregious or anything. Its just paint by numbers and generic. Maybe even lazy. But not poor.
