What A Great Bad Movie

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 1999)

A truly deplorable over the top mindless gangster movie but I love it ! Pacino plays one of the lowest low life despicable gangsters ever and most of the other characters are not much better only Montana's mother has any morale quality as everyone in this film is mired in the muck. The vulgar language and violent carnage is wonderful and somehow works in this never boring classic. Many other films of this type I find distasteful and offensive but for reasons I can't explain this one I never tire of seeing. The drug deal gone bad early in the film is masterfully done and the climactic shoot out with Montana and his former drug partners hitmen standout along with the always brilliant Pacino.
