perfect definition of a rise and fall story

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2003)

Scarface is truly a great gangster epic. In fact, this is the best gangster epic. Al Pacino certainly fits into his role.Why didn't Pacino get an Oscar? I have no idea. This film itself deserved numerous Oscars. Brilliant directing,compelling storytelling, and a great musical score by Giorgio Moroder. This film also has strong supporting acting, especially by Robert Loggia and Paul Shenar.
Al Pacino brings fire to his character, as he does to many other roles. The only character that stays out of the way and used as the voice of reason is the mom, played brilliantly by Miriam Colon. Tony Montana starts out with good intentions. He has many dreams. But he lets greed overtake himself. I always enjoy morality stories, they teach good lessons. Pacino is the best actor in the world.
