Can you really change who you are? Can you one day wake up and escape completely from your past? That is the question this haunting 1993 Al Pacino classic left on my mind.
Released from prison on a technicality, Carlito Brigante (Al Pacino) sincerely intends to give up his criminal ways. Sadly it's not long before the ex-con is sucked back into the New York City underworld. Reconnecting with his dancer girlfriend, Gail (Penelope Ann Miller), Carlito also gets entangled in the shady dealings of his friend Dave Kleinfeld (Sean Penn), who also serves as his lawyer.
When the pace of this movie picks up it is really gripping. I found it totally entertaining. And ohhh that man Al Pacino and his mafia flicks... he has no equal.
Interesting quotes from the movie...
"Favour gonna kill you faster than a bullet"
"Gonna stretch me out in Fernandez funeral home on Hun and Ninth street. Always knew I'd make a stop there, but a lot later than a whole gang of people thought"
"If you can't see the angles no more, you're in trouble"
