Powerful

Rating: 8/10 (6 June 2000)

When Scarface first started playing in my DVD player, I started to wonder what all the hype for this movie was about. The plot started slow and all I wondered was "Why are they going to tell me this story?" However, after the motel scene, I was hooked, the story seemed to evolve beautifully. Al Pacino was brilliant in playing what I believe is the most powerful character he's ever played. There were certain times that I thought they could have edited some things out, made it shorter. It just seemed longer than necessary. However, I definitely recommend this film to anyone who enjoys Pacino's work, especially "Goodfellas", you'll get a kick out of this.
