Scareface Review

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 2015)

If you like the Godfather trilogy, then you would love to see scarface! Director Brian De Palma does an amazing job translating the Oliver Stone novel of "Scarface". This is a true rags to riches story about a Cuban refugee that has landed in Miami, FL during the cocaine boom of the 1980's. The Cuban Refugee name, "Tony Montana" start off as a humble dishwasher, but soon gets involved in the cocaine business through a friend.
Tony is the ruthless drug lord that we love to hate. Director De Palma does a fantastic job on glorifying the unsavory lifestyle that Tony lives and kind of has you routing for him by the end of the film. This is a well thought out, great depiction of somebody coming from nothing and evolving into a multimillionaire. This film has all the elements of a great film, it will make you laugh, cry, and jump out of your seat. If you are looking to truly be entertained by a film you will not be disappointed. I 100% advise you to watch this classic gangster film, it is truly one of the better films that has been made, and some would say that it actually made Award winning famous actor Al Pacino's career.
