I've seen it. It wasn't fantastic, but I didn't mind it. Better than I thought it was going to be. Jay Hernandez is pretty impressive, I'm really liking him these days. Worth watching if you liked the original.

Yeah, I noticed that too. It also bugged me how he was still with his girlfriend at the end of the movie when Gayle is so important to Carlito in the original. I haven't read the books so I don't know how it's all meant to play out, but I didn't like that much.

Totally off from the first movie. In Rise to Power he was in his 20's in the 1960's, and in the original he was in his 50's or 60's in the mid 1970's.

Do they actually say his age during any of the movies? Or are you guessing? I can't remember.

Just because Pacino was that age doesn't mean Carlito was. I dunno, I bought the books ages ago, working in a book store means I buy heaps of books and then forget I own them until I'm reminded, so I'll read them to see if I can get some semblance to this time line.

Yeah, it's just based on the same books as Carlito's Way. One of the films is probably more accurate to the books and the other isn't. Hense the differances. I still think they could have paid more attention to it though. I'm pretty sure the prequel is based on 'After Hours', if memory serves me it says that in the opening credits. The second book is just called Carlito's Way. I just assumed After Hours was the prequel and Carlito's Way the original.

You would've thought that they would've played to that script wise. They certainly did with sales.

I liked it more than the original, it wasnt a better movie, but I enjoyed it more, if that makes sense.
