One of the great performances

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 1999)

Ok it might not have been everyones cup of tea and the violence and bad language may have turned a lot of folk off the movie but who can deny the brilliance of Al Pacino's performance in this epic crime story? He "became" Tony Montana for the film, it was a flawless portrayal of the Cuban refugee, definitely Pacino's best ever, even the great man himself believes this. Performances like this are rare and should be appreciated, i never thought for one moment that it was Al Pacino on the screen , it was always Tony Montana. Perfection, what more can be said? And by the way, the film was brilliant too.
