I've seen Carlito's Way a dozen times - with the pool hall bit, and the part where Big Al shelters under a trash can, it's a top five DePalma for me, easy - and every single time I think that this time Carlito is actually going to get on that train, and get away.
I'm so caught up in that chase around the rail station, and the final dash to the train, I ignore the fact that you can see Benny Blanco from the Bronx running ahead of him, and he so nearly gets away from that awful life forever.
I still think that one day, one strange day, Carlito might actually make it onto that train.
