Watching Pacino portray a man so desperate for redemption is a joy to behold.

Watching him react to the realisation that he canÂ’t escape his past and that it will cost him the woman he loves is gut wrenching.

Once you are as crooked as Carlito was itÂ’s almost impossible to go straight. Torn apart by the life he created and then tried to run away from.

Memorable quote: “The dream don't come no closer by itself. We gotta run after it now.”
