Film Synopsis:
From the director of Scarface comes the critically acclaimed crime thriller Carlito's Way. Oscar® winner Al Pacino gives on electrifying performance as former drug kingpin Carlito Brigante, who is sprung from prison by his high-powered attorney (Academy Award® winner Sean Penn). He stuns the New York underworld by vowing to go straight from a history of violence, but his plans are undermined by misguided loyalties and an outmoded code of honor. In a life-or-death battle, Carlito takes on the relentless forces that refuse to let him go. Co-starring John Leguizamo and Luis Guzman, Carlito's Way is a powerful, action-packed ride all the way to its explosive conclusion.

The attention to subtle detail in this scene is what makes this so good. How the guys in the room are telegraphing something is amiss when they first walk in -- how they are playing pool, but not really playing -- how they stop him from going into the bathroom. The tension just keeps building and building and you are in his mind with him and you feel like the walls are really closing in on you. He's not packing so he has to see who is ... everything in this scene happens for a reason -- it is a masterclass in acting and directing. Pacino knows that he's walked into a setup and his street smarts are what save him.

this scene was just electric when I saw it in the theater In hindsight, the genius of this film was that it was as if the director saw that Al Pacino was starting to chronically overact and figured out a way to make lemonade out of the lemon He casts Al as a massively passionate & violent man striving the entire film to keep himself under control And in this, the best scene in the film, Al’s character is facing certain death and is forced to bluff his way out. The more Al overacts, the better the scene gets. And the final twist of the scene makes it perfect, makes it like a miniature BARON MUNCHAUSEN; the threat was gone, the danger all in his head, all that sound & fury signifying nothing. 🙌

Highly doubt it especially in the time's that were in now like if they made Scarface and Carlitos Way today he wouldn't have been cast in those roles because he's Italian they would have an actual Cuban actor for Scarface and a Puerto Rican actor for Carlitos Way cause it's all about representation especially for roles where the character is Hispanic

[@thegutpunch1726]

I was a child in Suburban NYC in the 70s. What's so beautifully authentic in the car portion of this scene is the ambient Salsa. That was The Bronx in predominantly Puerto Rican areas back then. There would just be Salsa in the air. You usually had no idea from where. It was just there. And coming from Suburbia, it was the perfect soundtrack to what was an exotic land to me. It was likely the first place I ever heard Salsa and I've been a fan ever since.

[@Kwaj]

I love how all throughout the film, whenever he's among criminal elements, Carlito methodically scans his surroundings and the people within them while giving off a collected composure. For anyone he's familiar with, Carlito weighs his relationship with them, while at the same time cautiously piecing together any possible motivation they might have to go against him, no matter how close they might be. Anyone he doesn't know, he automatically categorizes as probable threats, and devises a plan to deal with them if need be. Pacino is phukkin' amazing.

Here in Latin America although most people are sweet and kind there is always that possibility of violence and danger, this is due to the high crime rates that exist in our countries, that is why since you leave home you are always evaluating the place and the environment in which one finds oneself to identify latent and non-latent threats, in the city where I live which is Bogotá - Colombia the situation has worsened a lot since the massive exile of Venezuelans towards Colombia began, this happens because the President of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro took many of the prisoners out of Venezuela prisons and left them on the border with Colombia so that they could come to our country to do their thing.

True. Scarface is bordering satire and if I remember correctly DePalma himself said they wanted to make everything over-the-top. This is more like its down to earth older brother.

Unlike Scarface, Carlito‘s Way didn’t have to work based on a remake, but don’t get me wrong, Scarface is still a little better

[@Supersonic8984]

Experience tells him the minute he walks in there he knows somethings up, Pacino plays that whole scene brilliantly. Pretending to be distracted but he's really keeping an eye on everyone in there. He clocks the boy in the toilet straightaway and the audience knows this won't end well.

[@elthe3rd]

And before they got to the pool hall, Carlito tells him "I promised your mother you will be home for dinner." smh, heartbreaking.

One thing about that scene that always gets me is how family and friends can get u caught up. Carlito just got out of doing a bid and his own cousin brought him to a drug deal that eventually went wrong.

[@YoMommasHouseMakingASandwhich]

Carlito saw this hole play from the beginning, but the bathroom scene confirms his suspicions. Asks to use the bathroom and the door slowly closes. He has no weapon so he's scans the room and waits for the right time to make a move. Also love when he's in the bathroom and his gun is empty so he plays it off like he just reloaded. This movie has scenes that are just perfect, Brian De Palma knocked it out of the park. This movie is defiantly in my top 50

[@tiagobarros5666]

The music gets loud, and Al Pacino immediately gets the clue as to what is about to happen, and then visually confirms every step of the way: "Yep, it's headed where I think it's headed." A lot of acting just with the eyes and movement. Deep level acting and ability to internalize thought process of the character. Act it out like it's for real. An iconic actor.

"Carlito's Way" has always reminded me of Pacino's early film "SERPICO" because that film also starts with Pacino being shot and brought into a hospital and the entire movie is sort of in flashback and then at the end of SERPICO we see how Pacino was shot again. I have never heard anybody else bring this up but I am guessing many have thought about this. If you haven't seen "SERPICO" make sure you see it. It has to be in the top 5 greatest performances Pacino has ever given.
