Al Pacino's performance is the only thing this film has going for it.

Rating: 6/10 (13 May 2011)

I had to skip bits of this film when I watched it; past the half way mark it slows down to a halt. This film is in desperate need of an editor; it could have been a great film if they cut out about an hour of Tony Montana being an idiot, because we get that pretty quickly! Al Pacino is on top form though, finding comedy to the character while simultaneously creating someone you don't want to mess with. And, of course, I love the accent.
Not a lot to say for this film - it hasn't aged well, what with its main attractions being violence, bad language and drugs, which are practically prerequisites for Hollywood films these days.
Watch the first half, then watch something else.
