A timeless film to entertain generations to come

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2019)

One of the best post production quality films of the 80's. This is what you call Al Pacino at his prime. An Italian actor from the Bronx that can portray a Cuban immigrant at ease says a lot about Pacino's discipline and dedication as a serious Hollywood actor. The storytelling is a perfect depiction of the struggles of the Miami community and what they have faced in the 80's regarding the war on drugs. A simple yet complex journey of a person who works hard and will do anything to get what they want is a dangerous combination, almost counterproductive when you're drunk with power. This film teaches the lesson that those who want high end success without going the straight and narrow route, will suffer dire consequences in the long term.
