Pacino and DePalma reunite and the result is once again phenomenal. "Carlito's Way" is a tasteful combination of a great story told by a master filmmaker; astounding actors skillfully playing some truly fascinating characters; a wide range of flawless film techniques and some truly great one-liners. I would recommend this film to Scarface fans, Gangster movie fans and anyone with a taste for outstanding performances. This truly is a captivating and enjoyable cinematic experience.
THE STORY
A Puerto-Rican ex-con, Carlito Bringante, is released from prison on a legal technicality. He is seen as a legend in the criminal world, the same world that is shocked by his decision to go straight. He takes a job managing a low-life nightclub and even re-kindles an old romance but finds himself being dragged back by his past connections and the absurd contrivances of his lawyer and best friend. After several of his associates and even some 'wannabe' young thugs attempt to get him in trouble with the law, Carlito decides to make a run for Florida and begin a new life, but is faced with one final life-or-death battle against the relentless forces that refuse to let him go.
