Crime Biopic

Rating: 9/10 (26 April 2017)

The biography of a ruthless Cuban American who emigrates to America and starting at the bottom rises up to become the Kingpin of Florida and the South West Coast. This film is the American dream the brave and bold turned upside down and inside out. Al Pacino is great in this film as Toni. Depending on how you at this character and his achievements he is either a great man who worked hard to become the Kingpin of crime or an unfortunate cook who has a lot of reasons to hate Castro. What is indisputable though is that the viewer finds themselves caught up in his world and rooting for him against the obviously more deranged Cartels who are even worse than him. Worth watching this film just to see the glories final and the soundtrack is perhaps the best in all the mob movies presently out there.
