Brilliant performance by Al Pacino

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2010)

Scarface is considered to be a cinematic classic and one of the greatest gangster movies ever made. And rightly so as it features one of the best performances of Al Pacino. Pacino plays Tony Montana, a Cuban refugee who finds paradise in America during the cocaine boom in the 80s and rises from a dishwasher to the top of Miami's cocaine business.
Pacino's stellar performance is well supported by Oliver Stone's beautifully written script and a brilliant direction by Brian De Palma.
Scarface is a landmark movie in the gangster genre and Tony Montana is one the most parodied characters of all time. Not to forget, this movie made the careers of several gangsta rappers.
