Storyline
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. Written by Keith Loh <loh@sfu.ca>

Trivia
Directors John McKenzie and Abel Ferrara were considered before De Palma was hired. De Palma was originally reluctant to accept the job because he did not want to make another film about a Latino gangster as he did in Scarface. But the script convinced him otherwise. See more »Goofs
Errors in geography: A sign that reads "242nd Street Bronx/South Ferry Manhattan" is visible on the subway car when Carlito heads to Grand Central station. The sign indicates that he is on is the 1 line which does not go to Grand Central. See more »Quotes
Carlito: Let me get this straight, he's gonna jump off a barge, swim a hundred yards, to a buoy? in the east river? Impossible, its too rough he is going to die.See more »
