The Worst Film Ever

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

If you want to see a Cuban run the drug game then this is the best movie to do so. I absolutely loved Al Pacino in this role and he is a legend for it. I strive to be like him everyday.

As a Character, Scarface will remain timeless. His costume design and charisma makes him as memorable as the Godfather. But unlike The Godfather, Scarface feels much longer. If you are expecting a action packed gangster thriller. turn around. This film is predominately made up of Scarface going around talking about cocaine, doing cocaine, selling cocaine. So much cocaine. like a lot of cocaine. its very boring.

A bloody and violent rags to riches story about a Cuban immigrant and how it all ends. Pacino was the perfect choice to play Tony Montana, nobody swears like him! Even though he is clearly a bad man, he still has his own sense of honor and is likeable. It's easy to wish for him to succeed.. Soundtrack has kind of become part of the pop culture!

While the story has been done before, since, and better, I can't deny calling this a classic, if not the movie that captured the 80s as a whole. If you've seen one movie like this, you've kinda seen them all. Guy wants power, guy gets power and then loses it, but it's the journey to get there that's important. Even though there are no real heroes here, aside from Gina and Tony's mom, you still root for Tony. Even as the power goes to his head, and he starts to think he can get away with anything, you still root for him. Even though you can see the ending coming a mile away, and you know no one is gonna come out of this tragedy in good shape, the movie's still engaging. Do I need to start quoting the movie? Or name off how many memorable scenes are in it? Or the impact it's had on pop culture as a whole? No, but what I can do, is applaud everyone involved, as they captured the tone and atmosphere, and politics of the 1980s like no other. I might like other movies from the 80s more than this, but I do believe that this is the movie of the decade. A macabre, ultraviolent, ultra-vulgar, tragic, tour de force.
