Movie Comments & Discussion
(1993) film starring Sean Penn,Penelope Ann Miller and John Leguizamo... Directed by Brian DePalma
Puerto Rcan crime czar Carlito Brigante (Pacino)has just gotten out of jail and wants to go straight.But his drug underworld cohorts don't think he can do it.Penn is great as a sleazy coked out lawyer who's way out of his league... effective without being gratuitous,especially the final shootout set in Grand Central Station.
