Scarface

I finally saw Scarface tonight. I could never watch the whole movie before, because in high school I'd seen the climactic assault-rifle, grenade launcher, bloodpak menage-a-trois scene several times, and it's kind of hard to walk into a movie with an open mind after watching such an unbelievably over the top ending action sequence. My god, it made A Better Tomorrow Two
seem subtle. I lied it a lot, but it was definitely more Casino than Goodfellas. It was so 80's, I couldn't believe it, to the sythy disco score to the polyester shirts to the montage near the end. I'll never think of a chainsaw as an unnecessary addition.
My favorite was the sunglasses-wearing assassin at the end who sneaks in, all silent and android-like and delivers the final shot (via shotgun, no less!) to Tony. He's like the taciturn samurai who steals the rifle and then takes a nap from Seven Samurai, or Snake-Eyes from GI Joe, or the overseer in mirored shades from Cool Hand Luke. He's Boba Fett! He has nothingt o do with the movie, he's just a bad ass who appears in the middle of the movie, does something incredibly bad-ass and then the movie's over!
