A very wise street smart drug Dealer Carlito ‘Charlie’ Brigante (Al Pacino) who got arrested and found guilty on drug charges served 5 years in prison. And during his five year jail sentence he vowed never to go back to that life, he wanted to make clean money. But when he gets out he find out that it’s not as easy as he thought it would be, with the help of his Best friend/Lawyer David Kleinfeld (Sean penn) gets him a job running a night club. Carlito takes on the job just to make enough money to get him and his love Gail (Penelope Ann Miller) out of New York City. Al Pacino who played Michael Corleone in the God Father, Tony Montana in Scarface was not new to playing a Tuff, witty, fearless role in a movie in the movie Carlito’s way Pacino played the role of Carlito Brigante perfect, he was on the top of his game coming off the hit Scarface not to many years prior to Carlito’s way. He was born to play the role of the Hispanic drug dealer trying to make it big. In the movie the main motivation for Carlito was to make money in an honest way and getting his love out of this lifestyle, basically Carlito is tired of the life he was living and wants a change. Many critics dubbed Carlito’s way another Gangster movie, some Critics even had the nerve to say it’s a washed up Scarface which is not true in anyway. Hal Hinson from the Washington post said “Carlito’s way is simply a big romantic gangster picture”, what I took from the movie is a king pin who had a run in with the law has a change of heart after a 5 year jail sentence. My overall opinion on the film is it’s a must see for any Al Pacino fan. It’s a movie about the Depth and struggles of the dark side of New York City I believe it is worth buying.
