DePalma film of a former Gangster getting out of prison and determined to turn his life around, but environment and an outdated moral code stymie this.
For whatever reason, we are shown the ending of the story at the beginning of the film and it almost make's You wonder why time should be spent watching. Stick with it as Al Pacino gives a restrained performance (and I think He deserved the Oscar for this instead the overrated SCENT OF A WOMAN) and an almost unrecognizable Sean Penn nearly steals the film as his corrupt attorney. Good supporting cast, but lovely Penelope Ann Miller whines a lot (it seems like she says "Charlie" at the end of every sentence) . ***1/2
