A legendary movie, Pacino's greatest performance

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2006)

Scarface is as perfect as any movie can be. It has a perfect story, actors that give life to the characters, and it's entertaining to the end. Scarface follows the life of Tony Montana (Pacino) as he sails to Miami to be free of oppression from Castro in Cuba. He wants the American dream, money, power, and respect, and he doesn't stop until he earns all three. This movie is pretty violent, but very tame to today's standard of violence. There is also a heavy amount of language in the film, including over 180 f-bombs, most by Pacino. But, this movie is also moderately funny, and you'll catch on to some of the jokes. This movie is EASILY a classic among classics, right up there with the Godfather. A perfect 10, this movie is flawless and a work of art, but I'm disappointed the critics didn't give it the credit that the movie deserved.
