Carlito's Way (1993)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 145m
Director: Brian De Palma
Cast: Al Pacino, Sean Penn, Penelope Ann Miller
Synopsis:
A Puerto-Rican ex-con's attempts to go straight are frustrated by the gravitational pull of past contacts and his lawyer's corrupting machinations.
Review:
Generally a far more satisfying gangster pic than the one that predates it by ten years (Scarface), as it strains less for bravura cinematic effect and focuses instead on its characters, giving its cast the space to turn in affecting performances.
