"....it only seems real. Remember that."

Rating: 9/10 (22 June 2007)

Wow. Just finished watching this movie. When I popped this DVD in I was expecting a different sort of movie; hearing comments such as "The real Tony Montana" on this review board made me have an expectant frame of mind when watching this movie. What I got was unexpected.
The narrative reminded me of movies such as the Shawshank Redemption- the highs and lows- friendships, betrayals, sorrows, hope- and what is truly important in life.
Every character acts well, but my hat goes off to Ray Liotta's portrayal of George's father- Fred, who loves his son and overall wished a much better life for him.
I got what I didn't expect but in the end I am glad. A moving experience. Especially the end. Everyone should see this movie.
9/10
