Description

Includes the crime dramas CARLITOS WAY and CARLITOS WAY - RISE TO POWER. In CARLITOS WAY Notorious Puerto Rican heroin dealer Carlito Brigante (Al Pacino) is released from jail on a technicality thanks to the manipulations of his sleazy lawyer buddy (Sean Penn). All he wants is to keep his nose clean and earn enough money to start a business in the Bahamas--and maybe rekindle romance with his old flame played by Penelope Ann Miller. Instead he finds himself back in trouble as a result of old-world codes of honour and misguided loyalties. It all takes place in 1975 Manhattan in and around a nightclub Carlito manages so theres plenty of classic disco music pulsing on the soundtrack. John Leguizamo plays one of the younger generation of hoodlums out to prove something. Viggo Mortensen and Luis Guzman star as a couple of Carlitos buddies from the old days. Brian De Palma who directed Pacino a decade earlier in SCARFACE makes this seem almost like that films sequel. As expected theres plenty of elaborate tracking shots and suspenseful set pieces most memorably a pulse-pounding chase through Grand Central Station. CARLITOS WAY - RISE TO POWER features an all-star cast in this remake of CARLITOS WAY. Set in Spanish Harlem this version stars Jay Hernandez in a star-making performance as Carlito who is on a comet-like ascent to the top of a successful crime ring. But being a kingpin takes a lot of support and the loyalty of a posse of complicated and violent friends played by seasoned actors Mario Van Peebles Luis Guzman and the multi-talented Sean P.Diddy Combs.
