Electrifying

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2011)

Scarface was an unpredictable, very 'in your face' mob thriller. From the very beginning you dive head first into Al Pacino's character, Tony Montana. You learn in the first five minutes how Tony presents himself, with conviction and with a firm personality. He has very few soft spots, and gaining Tony's trust is an unattainable goal. Tony always had one major exposed nerve which led viewers to predict foreshadowing. Don't worry, I'm not about to write a spoiler. Each character in the movie had their own electrifying personality and their own sub-plots and certain (un)predictable spins. With dialogue that makes your head spin, a few far fetched details, and a captivating plot; you're in for a true treat with this 1983 De Palma film.
