Review of Scarface (1983) by Chillindylan G — 21 Feb 2015

Scarface has been a polarizing affair ever since it's release, but it's one of my all time favorites nonetheless. More than just three hours of violence, profanity and drug use like many believe, Scarface places commentary on American capitalism, the advantages/disadvantages of greed, and a socially disadvantaged immigrant's perspective of capturing The American Dream.

Scarface has memorable characters, a fantastic musical score, bravura performances, a strong story and lead from Al Pacino, and an undeniably ambitious, colorful style.
