Carlito's Way/Carlito's Way - The Rise To Power DVD

Carlito's Way:
Academy Award winner Al Pacino is an ex-druglord fighting to escape his violent, treacherous past in this crime-action tour de force from acclaimed director Brian DePalma. Sprung from prison on a legal technicality by his cocaine-addled attorney (Sean Penn), former drug kingpin Carlito Brigante (Pacino) stuns the local underworld when he vows to go straight. Taking a job managing a glitzy, low-life nightclub, he tracks down his onetime girlfriend (Penelope Ann Miller) and rekindles their romance, promising he's changed for good. But Carlito's dream of going Lefitmate is undermined at every turn by murderous former cronies and even deadlier young thugs out to make a name for themselves. Despite good intentions, Carlito's misguided loyalties and an outmoded code of "honor" will plunge him into a savage life-or-death battle against the relentless forces that refuse to let him go. Reuniting the star and director of Scarface, Carlito's Way is a powerful, passionate motion picture.

Carlito's Way - Rise To Power:
Jay Hernandez (Friday Night Lights), Mario Van Peebles (Ali), Luis Guzman (Calito's Way) and Sean Combs (Monster's Ball) star in the gripping tale of the early years of a gangster legend Carlito Brigante. Seduced by the power of the brutal New York underworld, he enters a deadly circle of greed and retribution. Assisted by his two brothers in crime, Carlito is on the fast track to becoming Spanish Harlem's ultimate Kingpin. He quickly learns, however, that the only way to survive at the top is through loyalty to his friends and respect for the rules of the street.
