Who put this thing together? Me, that's who! Who do I trust? Me! - Tony Montana

The rise and fall of a drug lord. This remake of the classic Scarface (1932) brings a new and intense look at the gangsters of our time (Even 30 years later). Pacino brings a intense acting with a great directing by De Palma.


A remarkable film for its history and the denounce it makes about how the drug cartel works in USA and how easy is to get in this game, how hard is to keep playing and how impossible is to get out alive.

****1/4

"Don't worry. No one ever died of insomnia." - Trevor Reznik

Christian Bale is an industrial worker who hasn't slept in a year begins to doubt his own sanity. Great movie that holds your attention from the beginning at the end, with a fantastic performance by Bale in this one.

***3/4
