"I Want What's Coming To Me, The World & Everything In It!"

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2012)

Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer, Steven Bauer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Robert Loggia star in Brian De Palma's 1983 crime drama. In 1980 Miami, we're introduced to Cuban immigrant, Tony Montana (Pacino) and his pal, Manny Ribera (Bauer). They come to Miami and get into the drug business where they meet and work for wealthy cocaine dealer, Frank Lopez (Loggia). Soon, Tony meets Frank's mistress, Elvira Hancock (Pfeiffer) and falls for her. Eventually, Tony takes over the business after Frank tries to have him killed and rises as a powerful drug lord consumed with greed and power. Mastrantonio plays Tony's sister, Gina who gets romantically involved with Manny. Harris Yulin and F. Murray Abraham are also featured. This is a great film that's one of Pacino's best with a good cast and excellent score by Georgio Moroder. I recommend this 80's classic.
