Carlito's Way: Rise to Power
(2005)

This movie was not bad at all!
Are you people kidding me? This was a very decent movie. I think the problem here is that too many people are comparing this movie to the original and there is no comparison. But Carlito's Way Rise To Power holds its own. Especially considering the budget was a mere $6,000,000, it did not have a star studded cast like Pacino or Penn, and shooting time was one month. I think the director Michael Scott Bregman did a pretty decent job considering it was his directorial debut and he also wrote the screenplay. I so enjoyed seeing Luis Guzman come back as a totally different character and what an enjoyable character! He totally pulled it off! This movie was stepped up a notch when he came on the scene! I loved watching Harlem in the 60's. I loved the humor in this film and I think it had its own flava. I think people need to give it a chance without comparing it to the original and gangsta classic Carlito's Way. AND JUST SO U DON'T GET IT TWISTED, THE PRODUCER OF SCARFACE AND CARLITOS WAY THAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT IS MARTIN BREGMAN, THE FATHER OF MICHAEL BREGMAN. NO ONE WAS DECEIVED. MARTIN BREGMAN IS THE MAN WHO MADE PACINO.
