Synopsis

Carlito Brigante is released from jail after serving five years of a much longer stretch. He vows to go straight and to live life as a fine, upstanding citizen. He even rekindles a romance with his ex-lover.

However, Carlito's associates cannot seem to leave him in peace...his nephew involves him in a pool-room gunfight, his lawyer asks him for "favors" which spiral out of control, and even an old friend tries to get him into trouble with the law.

Carlito decides to make a run for Florida and the promise of a new life, but has one final dramatic escape to make from some hoods who believe (wrongly) that he was behind the murder of their boss.

Additionally, the soundtrack's lack of cohesion and consistency detracted from the overall viewing experience. The abrupt shifts in tone and style made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the narrative, as the music failed to create a cohesive atmosphere throughout the film.

Dorothy Brown
9/10

Each track in the soundtrack is carefully selected to reflect the inner turmoil and struggles of Carlito Brigante. From intense, heart-pounding beats during action sequences to melancholic melodies during moments of reflection, the music adds depth and richness to the storytelling.

Richard Hill
6/10

On the other hand, while the soundtrack is effective in setting the mood for the film, at times it can feel a bit repetitive and predictable. Some tracks seem to blend together, lacking distinctiveness and failing to stand out on their own. Despite this, the overall musical score still succeeds in elevating the intensity of key moments, contributing to the overall cinematic experience.
