Pacino the bad guy

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2012)

Al Pacino is Tony Montana or scarface. He has escaped from Cuba to the United States as part of the freedom flotilla. He becomes involved in the cocaine trade in Miami, first on a small scale and then as a major distributor.
A series of crooked policeman, bankers and politicians are all shown in realistic portrayals with no real heroes turning up to save the day. After extensive undercover law investigations, scarface must finally face the music. Director Brian De Palma, working with Oliver Stone's script produce a finale that allows Al Pacino to vent to the extreme. Only could Al get away with such a grandiose last act, but he makes the three hour running time worth it.
