Al Pacino and Brian De Palma reunite for this nostalgic crime drama about an ex con named Carlito Brigante (Pacino) and his wishes aiming to go straight. Only for his associates and fate to take a dark path. It's an interesting set up and Pacino's experienced yet regretful turn as Brigante is quietly intense just as Tony Montana was loud and animated. Penelope Ann Miller is lovely as his stripper girlfriend while Sean Penn is amusing to watch as his cowardly cocaine addicted lawyer.
