Another work of nature by the actor

Al Pacino is worthy of being a showman, and everything he plays is eye-catching, and this kind of gangster role is naturally a work of nature. Hehe, I'm not saying that Pacino is a cruel and suspicious person, but the character's violent, arbitrary and calm personality really matches him a bit.
The place where I feel a little lacking is the second half - it seems that this is the quagmire of most movies - especially the latter part, the plot is a bit cramped (is Stone in a hurry), and it turns sharply and seems to have a hasty ending, although the time of the film is still Not short.
recommend!

    Palma's remake is undoubtedly extremely successful, surpassing the original and leaving it unattended. Sunny Miami replaced Los Angeles. The plot is more complete, gorgeous but true disillusionment, epic violence and madness. The prototype of Grand Theft Auto. The ending has the meaning of "things must be reversed." Tony Montana is indeed a little bit paranoid, but it can't change the fact that no one in this world is trustworthy. This world doesn't belong to you

    Halfway through seeing it, I remembered that I saw this underworld inspirational movie when I was a kid... In the United States, you can have the American dream in all walks of life, and all have the drowsiness when dreaming is half awake-gangsters are no exception. This is simply a sample scene of the realization of the American dream of the underworld of immigrants. The funny thing is that Tony was questioned "Are you gay" when he first arrived in the U.S. This one was tied to jail time and drug use. Many things have not changed in 30 years
