Carlito's Way

Carlito's Way

1993

It's hard to go straight in a crooked world, but Carlito Brigante (Al Pacino) won't stop trying. Sprung from prison on a technicality, he vows not to waste his second chance; unfortunately, every time he tries to get out of the rackets, the bad guys pull him back in. Director Brian De Palma stamps his signature electric visual style onto this searing drama.

In his world, you got to shoot your way out. He wanted out. He'd do anything to get there.
