Pacino and Penn's performances are both superb. Penn disappears into the role so well, quite a versatile actor

It's eerie to hear Gene talk about relating to Michael Keaton's character with cancer in My Life and wondering what he would do in his situation, as, of course, Gene would find himself in that situation just a few years later.

The craziest thing about Siskel’s illness is that he got the brain surgery only three days after discovering the tumor. From unknowing to permanently altered in the timespan between two S&E episodes. Dead within a year.

Carlito's Way is a very underrated film. Great chemistry between Penn and Pacino - and great direction from De Palma. It's just a shame that it bombed at the box office.

It didn't bomb. Even if you account for marketing, the film made a decent profit. As for the film itself, I do wonder if people fully grasp the message beyond crime not paying.

The Carlito's Way review illustrates why I preferred Gene over Roger. Gene is completely open and honest about why he doesn't like the film; he believes it takes a moral stand that prevents him from getting involved in the story, and he flat-out says so. Roger would feel the same way about a movie, but he would find excuses as to why the film is objectively bad, rather than saying it simply didn't work for him. Personally, I liked Carlito's Way, and Gene's honesty allowed me to see through the thumbs-down and focus more on the deeper aspects of the review.

Carlitos Way is a good film, not great. The story is somewhat predictable, but the ending helps. Penn's performance is good if not uncomfortable, which I'm sure was intentional. My Life is a marginally good film, Keaton is good in the film, but Roger's points are spot on about the light-heartedness moments being out of place. Have never cared for a Three Musketeers film ever and this one is no exception.

@@sm5574 Oh that's totally what I'm getting at as well and I think it's also worth weighing that there's been very few good adaptations of a lot of book to screen stories and the Three musketeers is one of them Sometimes you just have to not take a movie quite as seriously and have fun with it. For example if you've ever watched Star Trek The next generation there's episodes where they basically do a play type story involving the holodeck and some of them will even be Sherlock Holmes stories and you just have to suspend your disbelief a little bit and recognize that it's a moment for the cast to have fun with something and that you should do the same
