Description:
From the director of Scarface comes the critically acclaimed crime thriller Carlito's Way.
Oscar® winner* Al Pacino gives an electrifying performance as former drug kingpin Carlito Brigante, who is sprung from prison by his high-powered attorney (Academy Award® winner** Sean Penn). He stuns the New York underworld by vowing to go straight from a history of violence, but his plans are undermined by misguided loyalties and an outmoded code of honor. In a life-or-death battle, Carlito takes on the relentless forces that refuse to let him go. Co-starring John Leguizamo and Luis Guzman, Carlito's Way is a powerful, action-packed ride all the way to its explosive conclusion.
Amazon.com essential video:
Al Pacino cuts a noble figure in this very enjoyable drama by director Brian De Palma (Scarface), based on a pair of books by Edwin Torres. Pacino plays a Puerto Rican ex-con trying hard to go straight, but his loyalty to his lowlife attorney (a virtually unrecognizable Sean Penn) and enemies on the street make that choice difficult. Penelope Ann Miller plays, somewhat unlikely, a stripper who has a romance with Pacino's character. The film finds De Palma tempering his more outlandish moves (think of Body Double or Snake Eyes) just as he did with the popular Untouchables and Mission: Impossible. But while Carlito's Way was not commercially successful and never rises to the level of greatness, it is a genuinely compelling movie graced with a fine performance by Pacino and a surprising one from Penn. --Tom Keogh

I've watched every movie Pacino has ever been in or acted in and I have to put "Carlito's way" at the top 10 of his movie list. In my opinion it surpasses even "Scarface" as far as the over all artistic quality of the film and acting. Sorry folks! I know a lot of you love Scarface, but if you watch a younger Pacino in "Panic in Needle park," or "Scarecrow" you will see a much more engaged and talented actor.
I liked Carlito's way because it showed Pacino's incredible character range in portraying ... Read More

CARLITO'S WAY (1993) has the same feel of having been created by a genius,
and perhaps is Brian de Palma's answer to Francis Ford Coppola's work,
ONE FROM THE HEART, 10 years after the fact. Many aspects appeal to the crowd,
ranging from the powerful story, the nostalgia, the sensual and sentimental spects
to action and ruthless underworld scenes.
There are many parallels, one being the excellent wide-screen filming quality and the
script itself, wherein ... Read More

We see Carlito's traumatic fate at the very beginning of the film, but how does one who so ambitiously wants to leave the former gangster life in the past and move on with himself still manage to end up here. This is the tale, and what a story it is. Al Pacino gives a memorable performance, and Sean Penn is right there behind him. Carlito (Pacino) is released after 5 years for a 30 year sentence from the help of his lawyer and best friend (Penn). Carlito has been given the opportunity to own a piece of ... Read More

I've already ordered this minor classic from an outfit in Canada which is closing out their HD DVD selections and reducing their prices as low as $5.99!! Compared to the duo's "Scarface", this little film noir gem hits practically all the right notes- Pacino's authenic Cuban accent, the great supporting cast including a disguised Sean Penn as a corruptible lawyer to a very young John Leguziamo as a young and up coming hood and Viggo Mortenson as a wheel-chaired bound turncoat. The plot may be old hat---a mobster ... Read More
