Review of Scarface (1983) by Vincent W — 22 Jan 2013
This is my first time seeing an Al Pacino film and it won't be the last. This guy is a phenomenal actor.
The film itself is extremely dirty with a ludicrous amount of cussing but that is kind of necessary to make this type of gangster film. I like how they actually developed Scarface so that even though he is the scum of the universe, you still feel bad for him because he frequently is in situations where he tries to do the right thing.
If you are looking for a snapshot of gangster life during the era that this film is set in, this is probably one of the best films out there.
I'm very happy with it but it is a bit long at 2 hours, 50 minutes. I can't say exactly that I would recommend it to everyone buy guys who are really into violence and gangster films will love this one. It is a very manly movie.
