Two of the most powerful crime thrillers ever are now available together at a hot low price in the Carlito's Way: Crime Saga Collection! Follow ex-drug lord Carlito Brigante as he tries to escape his violent, treacherous past in the original Carlito's Way - directed by Brian DePalma (Scarface). Then delve into Carlito's early years as he is seduced by the brutal New York underworld in the electrifying prequel Carlito's Way: Rise to Power. Filled with action-packed excitement, the Carlito's Way: Crime Saga Collection is the complete explosive story of one of the most powerful crime sages in film history!Note:
This double feature pairs the all-time classic CARLITO`S WAY with its more recent prequel.
CARLITO`S WAY: RISE TO POWER: An all-star cast is featured in this prequel to CARLITO`S WAY, originally a Brian de Palma film starring Sean Penn and Al Pacino. Set in Spanish Harlem, this version stars Jay Hernandez in a star-making performance as Carlito, who is on a comet-like ascent to the top of a successful crime ring. But being a kingpin takes a lot of support and the loyalty of a posse of complicated and violent friends, played by seasoned actors Mario Van Peebles, Luis Guzm?n, and the multi-talented P.Diddy, who proved his fine acting chops in the Broadway play A RAISIN IN THE SUN.
CARLITO`S WAY: Notorious Puerto Rican heroin dealer Carlito Brigante (Al Pacino) is released from jail on a technicality, thanks to the manipulations of his sleazy lawyer buddy (Sean Penn). All he wants is to keep his nose clean and earn enough money to start a business in the Bahamas--and maybe rekindle romance with his old flame, played by Penelope Ann Miller. Instead he finds himself back in trouble as a result of old-world codes of honor and misguided loyalties. It all takes place in 1975 Manhattan, in and around a nightclub Carlito manages, so there`s plenty of classic disco music pulsing on the soundtrack. John Leguizamo plays one of the younger generation of hoodlums out to prove something. Viggo Mortensen and Luis Guzm?n star as a couple of Carlito`s buddies from the old days. Brian De Palma, who directed Pacino a decade earlier in SCARFACE, makes this seem almost like that film`s sequel. As expected, there are plenty of elaborate tracking shots and suspenseful set pieces, most memorably a pulse-pounding chase through Grand Central Station. The story is adapted from two novels by New York Supreme Court Judge Edwin Torres based on his childhood in East Harlem.
