Truly Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2003)

The film is one of the greatest gangster movies of all time with some terrific performances especially Al Pacino, although as great as he is, he extends himself to great lengths in this movie to make us sometimes hate & sometimes love Tony Montana. I think this is just one thing which makes Pacino so great is the fact that he can look like either a bad guy or a good guy and he can act like a bad guy or a good guy as well. In Scarface the performance is just brilliant & i don't think there is anyone who could of played the role better. He has everything right from the accent right down to his manerisms and the way he speaks. As a big fan of Pacino i love almost all of his movies (apart from City Hall) & counting out the Godfather Part 1 & 2 i would say this is his best movie & if you are a fan of his or a fan of Brian De Palma watch this movie! It has one of the greatest endings in movie history, has an awsome soundtrack & set the record for the "F Word" being used most in a film! Screw the Oscars they don't know anything as Pacino should of atleast had a nomination for Best Actor & screw those crappy Razzie Awards for nominating De Palma as Worst Director he directs this movie excellently!
