Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie is based on one of Edwin Torres' book series on the criminal life of Carlito Brigante. This is based after the first book in the series "Carlito's Way". Brian De Palma's Carlito's Way (1993) took the first book's title because at the time it was decided that they would not take the title of the second book "After Hours" to avoid confusion with the Martin Scorsese -directed movie of the same name (After Hours (1985)).
- GoofsSince the move is set in the mid- to late-60s, Malcolm X Boulevard would not have existed and would only be known as Lenox Avenue. Lenox Avenue was subtitled Malcolm X Boulevard in 1987.

Featured review
A complete and utter slap to the face to DePalma and Pacino.
Do I need to even explain the plot? A rise from slums to riches in the ghetto streets of Harlem....yawn! Boring! What makes Carlitos Way a truly amazing movie was the sheer fact of storytelling and characters that explain how he got to where he was.
Shame on whoever greenlit this project.
Prequel? No.
Story? No.
Sean Puff Piffy Dadd farty licky? No..
Pass. Better movies out there. Go rent Number 23 with Jim Carrey. Trust me..you'll lauh harder.
