Scarface

HE LOVED THE AMERICAN DREAM. WITH A VENGEANCE.

After getting a green card in exchange for assassinating a Cuban government official, Tony Montana stakes a claim on the drug trade in Miami. Viciously murdering anyone who stands in his way, Tony eventually becomes the biggest drug lord in the state, controlling nearly all the cocaine that comes through Miami. But increased pressure from the police, wars with Colombian drug cartels and his own drug-fueled paranoia serve to fuel the flames of his eventual downfall.

Reviews:

  • Eloise Archer
    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.
    Rating: 3

  • Octavia Sosa
    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

  • Sky Chase
    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.
    Rating: 3.5

  • Megan Wiley
    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.

  • Apollo Floyd
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.
