Determined to go straight and move to the Bahamas with his girlfriend, Gail (Penelope Ann Miller), Carlito is tempted back to the wrong side of the law by his lawyer, nerdish coke-head David Kleinfeld (Sean Penn), for 'one last job'. Brian De Palma directs this visually eloquent film about a man's inevitable tragic demise with his familiar penchant for the big set piece and violent action.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmazon.co.uk Review\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAl Pacino cuts a noble figure in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCarlito's Way\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, an enjoyable drama by director Brian De Palma (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca class=\"a-link-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B0001GNJT2\/$%7B0%7D\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eScarface\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), based on a pair of books by Edwin Torres. Pacino plays a Puerto Rican ex-con trying hard to go straight, but his loyalty to his lowlife attorney (a virtually unrecognisable Sean Penn) and enemies on the street make that choice difficult. In a somewhat unlikely role, Penelope Ann Miller plays a stripper who has a romance with Pacino's character. The film finds De Palma tempering his more outlandish moves (think of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eBody Double\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e or \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSnake Eyes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) just as he did with the popular \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Untouchables\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eMission: Impossible\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
