Scarface


Scarface was released in 1983.Scarface received mixed reactions. Its a crime saga, and later on was included in top ten crime movies made ever. Movie features Al Pacino as protagonist, A Cuban refugee, who becomes a drug dealer in his urge to make quick bucks. Movie was criticized for the violence and the offensive language. But movie created a huge fan following. And did well on the box office too. Many term Scarface as a Cult.

Film explores the life of a Cuban refugee, Tony Montana (Al Pacino) and his best pal Manny Ribera (Steven Baue), how their life takes them from small restaurant to brutal world of crime. Obviously the driving force is the dirty money involved. The portrayal of Tony by Al Pacino is truly classic, He absorbed into the character so well that you completely get convinced that he is the real life drug dealer Tony Montena and go with the flow of the movie. The plot of the movie is pretty predictable, but it’s the transformation of the central character from a small time criminal to lord of gangsters.
Scarface is very well crafted epic, deals with facts of Drug dealers and underworld, Scarface does not glamorize the bad world, Moreover their is a bit morality in the movie.
Movie is a real treat for Pacino Fans, though viewers who keep themselves away from watching violence should refrain from this movie as well. This is not their Taste.
