Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2006)

Rated R for Strong Graphic Violence and Language,Drug Use and Brief Nudity.
I bought Scarface and Reservoir Dogs on DVD at HMV a couple of weeks ago.Scarface is a film that is very famous.A lot of people seem to know about it.At my high school a lot of people seem to wear Scarface T-shirts and other memoribilia.Scarface is big in the rap/hip-hop culture.Most people think that you have to be a rap music fan to like Scarface but that is definitely not true.I like rap but its not my favorite genre of music.Scarface is my third favorite film of all time.This film is simply excellent.I have seen it twice on DVD.This film is almost perfect.The acting especially that of Al Pacino is excellent.Pacino is Italian in reality but in this film he is a very convincing cuban drug dealer.The acting of Michelle Pheifer and Steven Bauer are very good as well.I'm really surprised this film was not nominated for any Oscars.I think its the best picture of 1983.Al Pacino was nominated for an acting Golden Globe but not for an academy award.Pacino is an excellent actor.We have seen him act well in plenty of films such as The Godfather Parts 1,2 and 3,Dog Day Afternoon,And Justice For All etc.Scarface is no exception.Pacino's acting is great!While tame by today's standards Scarface was considered really violent when it was released in 1983.It was slapped with an X-rating originally.Another reason Scarface is a great movie is because of the excellent storyline.The film is about a poor cuban immigrant named Tony Montana.As he finds criminal jobs like selling Cocaine and Murdering people he gets more money and becomes rich.However he becomes a cocaine addict and his kid-sister Gina who Tony did not want to turn out bad has become almost like he has.One of the best parts about the film is the big shootout in the end where *SPOILER* Tony Dies *END OF SPOILER*.In Conclusion if you have not seen the film Scarface yet I suggest going to your local video store and buying the film.You wont regret it.
