Sports cars, cocaine and excess; the 80s

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2005)

'Scarface' tells the brutal story of Tony Montana who rises to become a leader in drug distribution from being a Cuban immigrant to Florida. He despises to be told what to think and owes nothing to no one. Living his life to exceed excess he lose touch with people. Or he has no from the beginning rather.
Al Pacino gives his best role here, never weak, snorting blow from left to right, saying **** about 200 times... Music by Moroder captures the spirit perfectly and builds under the moods. Screenplay by Stone and direction by De Palma works very well.
Maybe the best movie of the 80's and a better gangster epos than 'Goodfellas' and 'The Godfather'.
