Scarface
One-time 'Godfather' Al Pacino returns to his screen beginnings with a bravura performance in the title role of this modern take on Howard Hawks' 1932 gangster classic. Rather than bootleg gin as Paul Muni did in the original, Pacino imports and sells cocaine. Possibly the most violent, thrilling, revolting, surprising and gruesome gangster film ever made.
