A powerful moral tale. However, I felt that it suffered due to slow pacing.

Rating: 7/10 (15 April 2016)

There's no doubt that Scarface is a powerful tale about how organised criminals are romanticised in film and television. Al Pacino's great performance made me sympathise, as well as hate his character. He was psychotic but also pitiful. I loved the speech he made about how everyone demonises his own behaviour so they can feel better about themselves. This moral stance rung true for me. Although, this film isn't perfect. I don't think that it flowed as well it could have done and the pacing was uneven. For me the film felt more like a collection of fragmented vignettes rather than a simple film with scenes that flowed onto each other.
