Ratings and reviews

This is a classic, Pacino is always into greatness. This is a homerun especially if you understand Puerto Rican culture on the mainland. Very valid movie. John became a star from this movie. If you understand stand the streets of NYC, you'll get this. A hidden mafia flick set in the real world. Gangsters are not just Italian.

Perfect love story. A dramatic crime story, a suspenseful storyline. I never get enough of the acting, music..I knows this movie verbatim !

Al is great, and I'm not a fan of Sean Penn, but he is a phenomenal actor. His roll in this film is perfect.
