There's a bad guy coming through!

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2020)

I've always said that the greatest actors do their best work when they are playing the villain. This movie is just pure excellence and I think Al Pacino was born to play this kind of role.
It is one of the most tragic and violent films I've ever seen. The violence was just a formality but it was tragic because he lost everything because of his stubbornness and greed. He killed his best friend for marrying his sister and then he watched his sister die right in front of him. I think his refusal to listen to the advice of all those around him caused his downfall in the end.
Overall the movie was fantastic and one of the things I really loved about it was the music, it definitely fits with the 80's. My favourite scenes are the riot at the start when he stabs that man and kills him and when he kills Frank and the cop. I also liked the part when he causes a big scene in the restaurant and his wife leaves him and the "say hello to my little friend" scene is obviously iconic.
One last thing, Michelle Pfeiffer and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio were great back in the day.
