Vastly entertaining crime flick

Rating: Null/10 (29 September 2003)

Brian DePalma directs Al Pacino in a tour de force performance as Tony Montana, cuban crime lord. This film is infinitely quotable, with just about every line that Pacino spouts in his thick psuedo-cuban accent an instant classic. The film has 206 utterances of the "f" word, a record at the time that was not to be eclipsed until "Pulp Fiction" in 1995, which is a weak and boring film, in my opinion. "Scarface" is not a five star masterpiece, but keeps going steadily until the violent, action packed finale where we get to say hello to Tony's little friend!
