I do not remember the HD DVD having grain. It was a clean / good looking transfer. I'd guess it would be the same transfer on Blu ray.

[Brad1963]

This is how the Blu ray should look.

From High Def Digest's HD DVD review

Stephen Burum's glorious 2.35:1 cinematography is replicated beautifully by this 1080p/VC-1 transfer. The opening black & white prologue sequence is marred by a disappointing amount of dirt and specks, but the source materials clear up after that. After the first scene, this is a very colorful movie, and the disc reproduces the rich, vivid colors (witness the deep reds of the pool hall walls) with precision. Black levels are also solid and have good shadow detail, lending the image an excellent sense of depth.

The photography can be a little on the soft side, owing to the choice of lenses used. As a result, the picture isn't always necessarily razor sharp, however it does have a satisfying amount of detail, far better than the DVD edition. Only on the HD DVD, for example, can you read the tiny initials sewn into Kleinfeld's shirt cuffs. The disc has next to no edge ringing artifacts (perhaps a miniscule amount in one or two individual shots) or distracting digital compression issues. The CGI fog effect used during the Taglialucci rescue scene is a little dated, but don't mistake the smeariness present there as a transfer flaw.

Although Universal has a hit-or-miss track record for catalog titles, this one is a "hit".

It's a great one. I personally like it better than Scarface.

[DetroitSportsFan]

I've never seen this. But I will give it a try on Blu.

I thought Scarface was garbage. Only the end shootout was good but I tend to ignore this movie when I'm thinking of Pacino. Rather not have that on his slate.

I've noticed that have rather...weird taste.

[Blu Titan]

Carlito's Way is great. Stars a little slow, but it is uphill from there.

[P@t_Mtl]

One of the few Pacino movies I can truly say I enjoyed watching.

Loved Penn's coked out performance and the final train station seqeunce was very operatic just like in The Untouchables

[hardtosayx]

I've never seen this movie either. I rented it about a month or two ago and never ended up watching it because I didn't really have the time. Maybe when it comes out on BD I'll check it out.

I haven't seen this movie in ages, but I remember it being top notch. I'll be picking this up for sure.
