A produção barata compromete o visual e a reconstituição de época e Hernandez, embora bom ator, é irregular em sua tentativa de imitar Pacino. Ainda assim, os personagens (Van Peebles, em especial) e a trama são interessantes.

Reviews for Carlito's Way: Rise To Power
Aside from a few strong performances and some solid period design, Rise to Power is a round, silver sleeping pill.
Even by the notoriously undemanding standards of direct-to-vid spin-offs, Carlito's Way: Rise to Power is conspicuously underwhelming.
Writer-director Michael Bregman (son of Martin, who produced both films) keeps things moving briskly on the way to an improbably happy ending.
...a legitimate piece of work (and not just a sleazy attempt to milk the popularity of the original).
