CrimeDramaThriller
Free after years in prison, Carlito Brigante intends to give up his criminal ways, but it's not long before the ex-con is sucked back into the New York City underworld.
VIBE
This is a slick, melancholic plunge into a world of inescapable pasts and treacherous loyalties. It feels like a neon-lit descent into a dream of redemption constantly threatened by the shadows of a criminal life. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of impending doom, yet tinged with a desperate, romantic yearning for escape.
