I have so many memories tied to this movie. I remember getting kicked out of the theater trying to see it for free. Then going to see it with a group of friends and one of my male friends crying at the ending and saying : He went through all of that and didn't make it !?!?!
Carlito didn't follow his own advice. He said to his dead cousin "you called them friends, there are no friends in this business." However, he trusted the very two men who betrayed him. At the same time he didn't trust the old club owner, who actually was looking out for him.
Carlito's Way is sort of an unofficial sequel to Scarface since they are both gangster films directed by Brian DePalma and starring Al Pacino. You can definitely see DePalma's directorial style all over this movie with the all of the zooming out shots and long uncut tracking shots as well as the "ticking time bomb" scenes with a lot of tense buildup. Personally, I prefer Carlito's Way and consider it to be DePalma's best film and also a Top 5 Al Pacino performance. Sean Penn was exceptional as well. While I much prefer Carlito's Way as a film over Scarface, he comparisons and contrasts between the two movies are interesting. In Scarface, Tony was homicidal and psychotic and had very few redeeming qualities, while Carlito actually had a lot of admirable traits and was trying to reform himself. Also, both movies had a tall blonde female love interest (Elvira in Scarface, Gail in Carlito's Way) except Tony and Elvira were a terrible couple while Carlito and Gail were actually in love. Tony was the paranoid drug addict while in this movie it was Carlito's lawyer Kleinfeld that was the out of control addict. Also, a lot of Carlito's interactions always seemed friendly and he had a close circle of people who actually liked and respected him, while Tony just kept pushing everyone away. I think Carlito's death hit much harder than Tony's since Carlito was a much more likable character and easy to root for. 1993 was a great year, but personally I think Carlito's Way deserved some Oscar nominations like Best Picture, Best Director for DePalma, Best Actor for Pacino, Best Supporting Actor for Penn, and Best Supporting Actress for Penelope Ann Miller. In my top 10 films of the 90s!

Another one of the great films to come from, what I think were some of the best years for films. You two are always great to go through a movie with.
Al Pacino is such a genius actor: " When they come in you ready for them " ... the best hand gestures
14:52 BINGO!!! Hell of a game based on Hell of a Movie!!!
al pacino did that lisp PERFECTLY! 😳 it was just enough to remind you that this is a FLAWED MAN 😢 LOVED your reaction! 👍😁
I remember renting this with my older brother and his girlfriend back in the day
Joy ❤😊
You need to watch the devils advocate next it a deep thought provoking movie about good and evil
thanks for reaction
I liked the second Carlito's Way too.
Hello guys please reacts the film Toy Soldiers (1991)
Here's two good movies for you to do reactions on The Mannequin (1987) and Mannequin Two: On the Move (1991)
Dig it*..
Kleinfeld is absolutely based on Rosenberg from GTA Vice City
How can a character from 1993 be based upon a character from 2002? 🤡🤡 did you even graduate elementary school?😂
They were Puerto Rican
