VA - Carlito's Way - OST (1993)

Carlito's Way is a 1993 American crime drama film directed by Brian De
Palma, based on the novels Carlito's Way (1975) and After Hours (1979) by
Judge Edwin Torres. The film adaptation was scripted by David Koepp. It
stars Al Pacino, Sean Penn, Penelope Ann Miller, Luis Guzman, John
Leguizamo, Jorge Porcel, Joseph Siravo, and Viggo Mortensen. The film stars
Pacino as Carlito Brigante, a Puerto Rican criminal who vows to go straight
and to retire in paradise.

However, his criminal past proves difficult to escape, and he unwittingly
ends up being dragged into the same activities that got him imprisoned in
the first place. The film is based mainly on After Hours, but used the
title of the first novel to avoid it being confused with Martin Scorsese's
1985 film of the same name. This is the second film collaboration between
Pacino and De Palma, after 1983's film, Scarface.

The soundtrack to DePalma's crime drama is appropriately claustrophobic and
menacing, featuring a selection of incidental music and pop songs from the
early 70's. Interesting, provocative music.
