This Is Greed at Its Finest.

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2020)

Tony Montana: In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.
Scarface is pretty much the perfect film of showing someone who went from doing a one time job to leader of a drug cartel, and completely losing his mind over paranoia and greed, and it is one of the best showings of how your mind will go from one to the other.
Al Pacino completely destroys it here playing Tony Montana to the point where its has always been compared which was his better performance as a gangster between his performance as Tony Montana or Michael Corleone. In a small comparison if you look at Tony Montana when he is at his highest point he has more charisma and is more flamboyant and when he needs to be he can be seriously more violent (hence the famous quote) whereas with his performance as Michael Corleone he is more subtle, calculating and crafty gangster.
As the film goes on you can see Tony Montana succumb more and more to greed and this is where the violence of the character kicks in with the most memorable quote "say hello to my little friend" . This quote has also become a cult classic as it has been made reference to by countless films including kids films.
Overall an easy 10/10
