Synopsis:
Academy Award winner Al Pacino is an ex-druglord fighting to escape his violent, trecherous past in this crime-action tour de force from acclaimed director Brian DePalma.

Sprung from prison on a legal technicality by his cocaine-addled attorney (Sean Penn), former drug kingpin Carlito Brigante (Pacino) stuns the local underworld when he vows to go straight. Taking a job managing a glitzy, low-life nightclub, he tracks down his one time girlfriend (Penelope Ann Miller) and rekindles their romance, promising he`s changed for good. But Carlito`s dream of going legitimate is undermined at every turn by murderous former cronies and even deadlier young thugs out to make a name for themselves. Ultimately, however, his most dangerous enemy is himself. Despite good intentions, Carlito`s misguided loyalties and an outmoded code of "honour" will plunge him into a savage life-or-death battle against the relentless forces that refuse to let him go.

Reuniting the star and director of Scarface, Carlito`s Way is a powerful, passionate motion picture People Magazine calls "A great film, Visually spectacular, filled with brilliant acting".
