Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A Puerto Rican ex-con pledges to stay away from his former drug dealing ways but finds himself being dragged back by his past connections and the naive machinations of his lawyer and best friend. Hoping to raise enough money to get away from New York, Carlito Brigante takes on the job of running a nightclub, renews an affair with a dancer but old associates and old instincts suck him back into a world of violence and mistrust.

| Goofs | (at around 45 mins) A major scene in the film involves a meeting between lawyer David Kleinfeld and his client, Mob boss Tony Taglialucci, which takes place at the Vernon C. Bain Correctional Center, a prison barge docked on the south shore of the Bronx. However, the movie takes place in 1975. The New York City Department of Corrections did not start using prison barges until 1988, and the Bain Correctional Center only came into operation in 1992. (It was brand new when the movie was made.) See more » |

Carlito:

Can't come with me on this trip, Loaf. Getting the shakes now, last call for drinks, bars closing down... Sun's out, where are we going for breakfast? Don't wanna go far. Rough night, tired baby... Tired... See more » |
