Al Pacino is in rare form!

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2003)

In Scarface, Al Pacino plays Tony Montana. A Cuban exile with a bad history who considers himself a 'political prisoner' goes to Miami to get involved with drug smuggling. Tony really gets his wish to make the American dream come true so along the way he becomes a very fearsome, bloodthirsty drug kingpin. I've always enjoyed Al Pacino's work. He knows how to play any character and earn a standing ovation. It's any wonder why this movie was so popular to begin with!
One of the best lines was, "Say Hello to My Little Friend!" Even Michelle Pfiffer was good as the cynical moll Elvira. Even if this movie was tremendously violent, it's not as violent as those ludicrious teen horror flicks that are popular right now. Even such popular movies like American Pie, Lord of the Rings, and I Know What You Did Last Summer all fail in comparison to Scarface. It's the best gangster flick since The Godfather trillogy. So, forget Once Upon A Time in America! Scarface is where it's at! I give Scarface 5 stars!
