"say hello to my leetle friend"

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2000)

Scarface. Panned on release has now become a classic of modern cinema. Reknown for having the most f###'s in it (before Goodfellas came along and stole the title)and well some quite horrific screen violence for it's day, it was meant to be De Palma's Godfather. Not quite Brian. But still an excellent film in which we see Pacino act his socks off (personally I see his role as one of the best he's ever played). The film is visually excellent as most of De Palma's films are(see Mission Impossible).With the acting, camerawork, and the script written by a pre-Platoon Oliver Stone who was shocked when a cuban gangster congratulated him on the realism of the film the movie is a gangster classic with everything taken to extremes (the amount of cocaine snorted is phenomenal)and one to rent or buy.
