Critic Reviews

Lou Lumenick

A cheesily amusing prequel to the 1993 film which starred Al Pacino as a Puerto Rican drug kingpin in Spanish Harlem, in one of his most entertaining performances. This time around, Jay Hernandez delivers a serviceable impression of a much younger version of Pacino. Read full review

Joe Leydon

Conspicuously underwhelming. Read full review

Anita Gates

Rise to Power is notable for one achievement: It makes Sean Combs (better known, at the moment, as Diddy) unconvincing as a rich man who enjoys power and luxuries. Read full review

Decent movie,good thing it was straight to DVD...because if it would've went to the theaters it would've bombed so terribly that it probably would've affected Al Pacino...and he was'nt even in it. I don't feel it should've been a sequel to "Carlito's Way" Decent movie,good thing it was straight to DVD...because if it would've went to the theaters it would've bombed so terribly that it probably would've affected Al Pacino...and he was'nt even in it. I don't feel it should've been a sequel to "Carlito's Way" due to the comedy aspect of it, it was more of a buddy film. It should've been a stand alone movie..but even with that said a decent rental at least.… Expand
