i have to say this be one of the bad film i have ever see . they have a pretty good storyline to go on and but than the mess it up so badly . first of all the cast be all wrong and where do that van peeble ( crap actor btw ) and puff daddy come from . it look like carlito have come from the hood and and use to hang about with some real idiot . this film doesn not do carlitos way any justice . im so happy that the sequel carlito way come out first and if i have see this rubbish first and i would have never give the pacino version a chance . and anyway and pacino be suppose to have read this story and think it crap and do the sequel instead . carlito way represent rise to power negative . carlito way positive .
