Scarface (1983)


Directed by: Brian De Palma
Written by: Oliver Stone
Starring: Al Pacino & Michelle Pfeiffer
Genre: Crime

It all started when Al moved to Miami to a place called Freedom Town when he was released from prison. He started selling drugs right away, killing anyone that stepped in his way. He wanted to have his own empire in Miami.

Another movie which involves Al Pacino committing murders similar to Scarface is Righteous Kill. He plays a cop out of control killing people who commit other bad crimes and who gets away with it, unlike Scarface where he hated police. In this movie he plays a cop alongside Robert De Nero, who everyone thought who was doing the brutal killings.

In this movie Al was playing another person someone who he is not, so it would be an alienation effect style of acting. He was playing a poor Cuban who blew up when he got into the drug game. I loved the movie. Al played the best role in this movie than any other movie I have seen him in. He was much younger and seemed so eager to be in this movie.

I would recommend people go see this movie because it's a classic, not something you can watch with the kids but a movie you can just sit back and enjoy. I don't think anyone could ever come close to making another movie like this and Al could never out act himself in another movie.
