An all time favourite

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2020)

This has been my all time favourite film since the very first time I've watched it. There is something truly special about it, something that not many films manage to deliver to its audiences.
Al Pacino is truly amazing in his role as the rising drug "king" Tony Montana. From his accent, his voice, his walk to his presence everything is amazing. Every scene he is in is nothing but flawless and this is mostly because he put his whole heart in this particular film and you could totally see it. Then, there is absolutely no one else who could have played Elvira, but Michelle Pfeiffer. She was perfect for this part in every aspect.
The film has the power to keep you "glued" to the screen from its start to its memorable and impeccable ending, a quality that not many films have. It is a movie that will never be boring, no matter how many times you've watched it and I know this, because every time i revisit it, I feel more and more amazed by its greatness. Brian De Palma put so much passion in this project and you could feel it while watching the movie, as the shots and the directions were absolutely mesmerizing. The soundtrack is the "cherry" of this movie, as most of the music is placed in the right place at the perfect time and it actually makes you feel part of their world.
I truly believe that this is one of the greatest films of all time, as it is flawless in many aspects and this is why everyone should watch it at least once in their lifetime!
