Scarface

In Miami in 1980, a determined Cuban immigrant takes over a drug cartel and succumbs to greed.

After getting a green card in exchange for assassinating a Cuban government official, Tony Montana (Al Pacino) 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.

Critic Reviews:

• " It will primarily be remembered as a machine-gun-soaked actioner of tough talk, cinematic betrayals and retribution, and mountains of cocaine. " – Mike Massie

• " Day-Glo Miami is framed well by John A. Alonzo, and the pulsating music by Giorgio Moroder is worthy of a listen on its own. " – Tom Meek

• " Pacino is a brilliant actor and his portrayal of a Cuban immigrant in Scarface is a perfect example of his work. " – Allison Rose
