Review of Scarface (1932) by Dean K — 24 Feb 2018
I can see why this was such a big film for the time it was made in '83. Very violent, gritty, some shocking scenes and tons of swearing. Having finally seen it, you can see how it has influenced countless other gangster films since.
Why it is very enjoyable and entertaining I wouldn't quite rate it as a masterpiece. The plot is actually very basic and straight forward and very predictable. Al pacino performance is what this film is all about, that and the bench mark for every gangster film made since.
