Carlito's Way - 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital [4K UHD]

In this film, Al Pacino stars as a just released mafia man who wants to go straight and live a peaceful life.I find this movie somewhat silly and as street-smart as Al Pacino's character - Carlito - is portrayed, he missed some very obvious mistakes that anyone who is watching the film could easily point out.At the start of the film, Carlito just got out of prison. His lawyer is his only friend in the whole wide world and at the start of the film, Carlito decides to hang out with a friend who is also on a drug run to collect payment. Carlito, being so street-smart, notices that the kid he's with is about to get killed, so he does some fancy pool moves to get the upper hand of the situation, but the kid still gets killed. Carlito, in all his street-savvy wisdom, decides to steal the cash, and run off. He then decides with the cash, he's going to buy in on a failing nightclub where the owner gambled to debt and Carlito is going to buy in a portion of the business and get some cut. Carlito's idea is that once he's able to save 75,000 dollars, he's going to run away from his lifestyle and get a fresh start. Why 75,000? I have no idea, but that's some sort of magic number where he can live far away in peace for the rest of his life.As the movie goes on, Carlito discovers an old girlfriend, and on top of that, his lawyer friend is up to no good. In all his street-smart savvy wise old crook way, Carlito decides due to some honor code where he has to return a favor decides to get knee deep in a river of dog doo with his lawyer pals who obviously ripped off a mafia boss. Carlito decides, despite his girlfriend's protest, that he's going to help his lawyer friend despite the fact that he admits to ripping off a million dollar from a mafia boss. Carlito, in all his street savvy wisdom, didn't ever think perhaps if his lawyer friend would rip off a mafia man, who is able to send an army of hitmen, perhaps, maybe.... just maybe... he would rip off an old friend who has nothing?In any event, Carlito decides that his illegal-yet-legit business investment that he used a dead kid's drug money that he got earlier in the film is about to pay off with his 75,000 that he keeps in a safe in a place that has a co-owner who has a gambling problem and is in serious debt and what could possibly go wrong, right? And the worst case happens, his lawyer friend double cross him, so Carlito double cross him, but get mixed up with a mafia hitmen, and on top of that he decides to take a last minute train to his destination.Oh yeah, earlier in the film, Carlito decides to let a up-and-coming street punk Mr Billy Blanko by dissing him at his favorite club and beating him up. The reason? He sees himself in the kid. And what is Carlito? A double crossing double crosser who is double crossing people, and if he sees himself in Blanko, wouldn't he see that he could potentially try to kill him later on? And on top of that, Carlito hears point blank that Mr Blanko is going to kill him and wouldn't he think that if he sees himself in the kid that he would think maybe, just maybe the kid would make good on that promise especially after getting beaten to a bloody pulp? Carlito trusts his bouncer, who frequently discusses money issues and "going back to the old ways," didn't think that possibly, he could easily switch sides by accepting payment. Lo-and-behold, huge surprise twist at the end, his bouncer friend double cross him and lets the punk, who Carlito let go of earlier, get the info on Carlito's escape and sure enough, huge surprise again, Blanko kills Carlito.Overall this film is silly. Carlito's entire assumption is that he's going to get legit by dealing with the same people he knows will double cross him. He finds each person double cross him, and on top of that he tries to double cross them before they're able to double cross him. He has this idea that he's going to be get legit by doing one last double cross only to get double crossed by the very people he's trying to escape from. It makes zero sense overall and I think this film's entire storyline is just that you can't escape your life, no matter how hard you try. Your past will catch up eventually and you'll end up right back where you started. It ends up being really depressing too but one good thing about the film is if you watch the credit long enough, you'll know in the movie Carlito's girlfriend says she's pregnant, and at the end of the film, you'll see her dancing in the sunset at the beach, but in the very end, a child is there signaling that Carlito at least did something right.

Love everything about it.

Worth the watch.

A longtime fan of Al Pacino, I saw "Carlito's Way" when it first came out, in 1993. Even back then, it was apparent to me that I was watching something very special. Since then, I've literally seen the movie hundreds of times, and it remains one of my all-time favorite films.The plot summary has been covered many times here, so I'll just stick to my comments. I think "Carlito's Way" is Brian DePalma's finest hour as a filmmaker. I could never understand the lukewarm critical response it received, though, ironically, time has been very kind to it. A lot of critics dismissed it as a second-rate follow-up to "Scarface"--which, interestingly, was also panned upon its release--but it possesses a depth and resonance that "Scarface" (or any of DePalma's other films, for that matter) just can't match.Having grown up in Queens, New York, in the 1970s--and having run with a pretty tough crowd--I was stunned at how well DePalma captured the sights and sounds of the time. It was like being transported back 20 years. But, perhaps because the film was made two decades after it's supposed to take place, "Carlito's Way" hasn't aged at all. Like many great films, it has a timeless feel to it, because it avoids many of the filmmaking clichés of the period in which it was made.DePalma was already working from a very good foundation--Edwin Torres' two books on Carlito Brigante, "Carlito's Way" and "After Hours," are exceptionally well written--but he could've easily dropped the ball. Thankfully, he didn't. Though he and Pacino were both initially opposed to rehashing the success of "Scarface," they eventually decided to work together again. The combination was pure magic. Like many great actors, Pacino sometimes needs to be challenged, and DePalma challenged him. And he responded with one of the best performances of his legendary career. He brings an elegiac air to the character of reformed drug kingpin Carlito Brigante, which brings out a level of depth and emotional weight that the character of Tony Montana just didn't have. In fact, Carlito makes Tony seem woefully cartoonish and two-dimensional by comparison. As the film progresses, the psychic weight of Carlito's worsening dilemma is channeled perfectly by Pacino's every move and word. Despite Carlito's sordid past, you sympathize with him and his increasingly futile attempt to escape that past. The rapidly shrinking box that is Carlito's way out is communicated stunningly, by Pacino's acting, the excellent dialogue and cinematography, and, crucially, the music, which builds to a crescendo during the subway chase scene--one of the best chase scenes ever committed to film, in my opinion.A movie is nothing without fine acting, and DePalma did a wonderful job of casting "Carlito's Way." The cast is, to a person, first-rate: John Leguizamo as up-and-coming gangster Benny Blanco; Penelope Ann Miller as Carlito's love interest, Gail; Luis Guzman as the traitorous Pachanga; and the ringer, Sean Penn, as Carlito's sleazy, out-of-control lawyer, David Kleinfeld. Penn has had a lot of great roles in his career, but his turn as Kleinfeld is definitely one of his most memorable: over-the-top, but never less than eminently believable . . . and chillingly frightening.As I said earlier, the years have been very kind to "Carlito's Way." It has aged better than any of DePalma's other films, and still looks and sounds as vital today as it did upon its release. That's a tough trick to pull off, but it's a testament to DePalma's filmmaking prowess and the actors' collective skill that, never once, do you catch yourself thinking about the age of the film. It's, quite simply, timeless--and, in this viewer's opinion, one of the best gangster films ever made. Whether history will judge it as such is debatable, but I believe that time will continue to enhance its reputation. It's a stunning cinematic achievement that will gain more and more supporters as the years go buy. I have absolutely no doubt about that.
