CARLITO'S WAY (1993) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Brian De Palma

Written by - David Koepp (based on the novels by Edwin Torres)

Starring - Al Pacino, Sean Penn

"Puerto Rican heroin dealer Carlito Brigante is released from jail on technicality thanks to his sleazy lawyer buddy. Once out, he starts dreaming of starting a normal life with his old flame and get away from the crime scene. But when his lawyer gets him into big trouble, he finds that making his dream come true is almost impossible. De Palma and Pacino reunite almost a decade after Scarface – Carlito’s Way has less of a cult following, but the two films match each other in quality, with De Palma’s spectacular long tracking shots and another memorable Pacino performance."
