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.

[@joemoe2936]

[@markthompson8246]

I like how he calls the street "She" and "She's always watching," because in the Spanish language, the street is "La calle" and "La" is female. In Spanish, nouns are either male or female. So even though he's speaking English, he still retaining some aspects of his Spanish. :)

[@babkeebabkus8177]

@MrB0gart who works the streets at night? women...pimps are always hanging around and the johns chasing p*ssy but it's women's world...woman is referred to for ships too...also the earth mother...charles manson I think once referred to the penitentiary saying 'she's the icebox'...fact is p*ssy is the boss of this world because most men will do anything to get into it...therefore his correlation between the street being a woman watching all the time underpins his understanding of woman being the real boss...also it must be understood that a sexy woman is often the cause of a man being beaten or robbed or killed and arrested and jailed...it's heavy karma...we all got here thru them and they are often the cause of a man's death...this scene is an example...benny could not just let stephie go...he had to push it but she jumped onto another guy like most women do if they look good and are getting male attention whenever they walk (this is why most attractive women are wh*res regardless of their work or how much money they have or how rich or good looking their boyfriend or husband is)...this scene is the most unbelievable of the whole movie...it was absolutely the right thing for benny to be killed and carlito fcked up and then he loses his life because of it at the end of movie before he can escape with his dream woman...if we look deeper we see carlito eventually dies because of a wh*re (stephie) and more directly dies because of not killing benny (gangster) and he is with a good woman and heading to paradise which is out of character for him...reminds me of clint eastwood's dirty harry line "a man has got to know his limitations" meaning who to talk to and who not to...who to get close to and who not to get close to...who to trust and who not to trust...where to hang out and where not to hang out...men who do not know their limitations get into arguements or fights and accidents and wind up in hospital or murdered...these are serious words to live by...I am alive due to buddhism and knowing my limitations

I love the ending of the movie for a few reasons, but one of those is how it’s almost unintentionally comedic. Carlito is about to board the train and leave with the love of his life- only for Benny Blanco from the Bronx to come out of nowhere from vanishing earlier on in the movie, announces his presence in the most supervillain way possible, and shoots him. It’s like the ending to a really dark and hardcore sitcom- ‘Who Else but Benny?’ On a serious note though, love this movie. This and Glengarry Glen Ross are two Al Pacino movies that deserve more recognition.

That was an excellent film. I loved it. The man who played the nightclub owner was Jorge' Porcel, a popular entertainer from Argentina. One day several years ago i recognized him sitting in a wheelchair listening to a band playing music in the outdoor section of a popular shopping mall here in South Florida. There were tons of Latino people passing by and nobody recognized him but me. I asked him how he was , and he said he recently had an operation. A few years later i felt bad because i read that he passed away. Al was so great in this movie. So was a young John Leguizamo & Sean Penn. When Al portrays a character, whether fictitious or real, he always does a superb job. Hes incredible.

[@hughtube5154]

Kinda. What killed him more was his refusal to ditch his code of ethics and realise that kind of brotherhood was no more and it was now dog eat dog. He trusted his old friends even though they all betrayed him - wore a wire to get out of prison / sold him out to the DA / went over to Benny Blanco's employment. Even though he said the words, "Friendship gonna kill you faster than a bullet," he never doubted his friends' intentions. And it cost him.

[@eddiehaze3165]

I love how the next shot after Carlito snaps his finger shows Benny with an all red face and Carlito half red and half white. That basically proved Benny was right saying he's over and in the history books. Carlito is only half of what he used to be gangster wise and Benny is full fledged gangster. The white light signified the new Carilto on his way out to a potentially better situation, but half red because of what he is still capable of, while the fully red faced Benny is basically a younger him...deep in it and dangerous enough to take him out of the equation

I just think Carlito holds too much contempt for Benny. Sure, he’s a punk and whatever, but was not directly offensive to Carlito. Why get worked up over someone like Benny? I’m missing something in this character.

[@eddiehaze3165]

@@rokyericksonroks I think that further validates the statement I made about Benny being a younger Carlito. He's seeking Carlito's validation from jealousy in a way by sending the bottle to the table and then he sends it back making him turn up that need for it. The movie emphasizes how Carlito lived a life where he was highly respected and feared before jail. But now he's running from that lifestyle while constantly running into people that indirectly pull him back towards it. Benny knows this instinctively and knows who Carlito was in the past. In a way you can tell he admires him until he sniffs out that ''weakness'' in Carlito (The red and white face) and is let down. Knowing hes got him beat he then vows to kill him....(which he does obviously.) I think Benny was the movie's twist for Carlito's end. A message saying you can't run from or forget what you create in life regardless of the lifestyle...

Being nice is one of the reasons he got killed. Too nice to his lawyer, too nice to Benny. Once the lawyer pulled the gun on Benny. Benny and the lawyer had to go. When the lawyer stole from the mob and got Carlito's in the mix the lawyer should have been served to the mob on a platter. Carlito's should have never been on the boat. Carlito's put himself in a position to be a victim. All that nice guy stuff made Pachanga lose respect for him. If Carlito's would have taken care of business his guys would have known not to play with him. He could have retired leave his guy set up to fill his spot. Pachanga's ambition got him killed.

You could argue that he shouldn't have been merciful to Benny Blanco. But, we know from later in the film that Kleinfeld is willing to sell Carlito out to the DA on a drug deal he ASSUMED (but couldn't prove) Carlito did to invest in the club; Kleinfeld would have had a MUCH stronger case against Carlito if Benny had been murdered, considering all the witnesses. What actually killed Carlito was his trust in his friends - he was warned Pachenga had gone over to Benny Blanco's side, he was warned by Gail that Kleinfeld was a piece of ____ who would get him into trouble. Carlito refused to abandon his friends - one implicated him in a Mafia hit that almost killed him, the other gave away his boarding train details to Benny, who did kill him. "Friendship gonna kill you faster than a bullet."
