June 25, 2009In an earlier review I did on the film Insomnia, I mentioned that Pacino seems to fall under the typecasting trap of cops and gangsters, which I followed up by saying if he does it's because he does them so well.
Well, I did a review in which he was a damn good cop, so let's see... ...( read more ) -
January 25, 2009Dragging away from the silent, intelligent underworld of The Godfather & Miller's Crossing, this is a movie where friendship is as real as the toothfairy and where you meet your end by chainsaw. This movie is not a thinking mans gangster movie, Tony Montana screwed up everything ... ...( read more )

October 12, 2008It has always been hit or miss with Brian DePalma, who made really great and pretty lame movies, at least as far as I am concerned. Scarface, although critically acclaimed ranges somewhere in the middle. Fact is, it's just kinda hard to care for a main character with all those fl... ...( read more )

July 2, 2009Maybe the best mob movie that ever appeared. It had action, that famous shooting met in every mafia flick, the story, the chick, and a glorious end. What do you want more from it? It was absolutely Perfect! Al Pacino made the role of his life. Excellent playing!

What were Pacino's detractors hoping for? Something internal and realistic? Low key? The Tony Montana character is above all a performance artist, a man who exists in order to gloriously be himself. full review

March 13, 2008Now I know why the famous scene from "ScarFace" makes it a classic film. What can you say about "Al Pacino" only that his acting in this film is astonishingly brilliant and amazed me the whole course of the film. I hope he got an Oscar for his role as Tony Montana because he made this movie a hit and will forever be top of the list in classic gangster films. The particular cast was also great though I felt "Michelle Pfeiffer's character was just kind of there. Her character needed to me more in depth and show exactly what happened to her. She just sort of disappeared without a trace. Ironically enough this film came out the year I was born and I can't believe it has taken me this long to watch this classic, straight to the point cut throat movie.
4 1/2 stars
