Scarface
Sam Barnett and Ryan McDermott
Tony and Frank’s closest associate Omar (F.Murray Abraham) travel to Bolivia in order to orchestrate a large scale drug deal with plantation owner and kingpin Alejandro Sosa (Paul Shenar) . Tony quickly agrees to purchase way more than authorized. Omar contests the decision resulting in his early departure by helicopter. It is then disclosed that Omar is a undercover cop who is subsequently killed and a tight bond is formed between Sosa and Montana.
Tony returns to Frank’s absolute fury over what happened in Bolivia. Frank tells Tony that the business partnership is over because a man like Sosa can not be trusted. Tony aggravates the situation by making a blatant pass at Frank’s wife right to his face.
Soon after a corrupt cop offering his name as Bernstein, (Harris Yulin), shakes Tony down at the, "Babylon Nightclub" blackmailing Tony about the two murders at the start of the movie. Tony quickly correlates Bernstein with Frank Lopez, (the only one he can’t trust that knew about the murders).
While at the Babylon Tony is almost gunned down by two goons. Tony escapes unscathed quickly blaming Tony Lopez for the hit. Tony proceeds to Franks shop subsequently killing him and the cop who blackmailed him at the club.
Tony makes a cool 75 million off the 2000 kilos of cocaine shipped by now close business partner Sosa and soon turns a 15 million dollar profit each month all hauled in to the bank to be cleaned up. Soon after the success Elvira now Tony’s wife becomes heavily addicted to cocaine and Tony becomes increasingly paranoid and untrusting of those around him. To compound Tony’s woes the bank is charging him extra on transactions due to the increased heat from Federal officials.
After searching for a cheaper alternative to the bank Tony is soon caught for tax evasion. After posting bail Sosa presents Tony with a deal that would see him assassinate a Bolivian anti-Government activist in return for Sosa pulling a few strings pertaining Tony’s release from jail using Sosa’s Justice Department contacts.
Tony then breaks up wife Elvira over a public spat at a restaurant full of distinguished guests. Tony, drunk and angry proclaims society need a “bad guy” to point the finger at and say, that’s who is the enemy all the while hiding behind their manners and polite etiquette.
On the day of the assassination Tony travels to New York with a skilled bombs expert. The plan is to detonate a bomb placed under the activists car upon his arrival at the UN building. However the activist makes an unscheduled stop at a hotel to pick his wife and kids up. Tony finds this too much and calls the hit off. The assassin far removed from what Tony is saying carries on as normal and in true Montana fashion shoots him in the head.
Tony then receives a stern and dire warning from Sosa who is now finding things exponentially more difficult in Bolivia. Tony then goes to Mannys house where Gina answers the door in robes. This incites Manny’s imminent death adding more shit to the pile.
Tony sits with his nose in a mountain of Cocaine awaiting the attack from Sosa’s men. Gina then comes in mocking Tony’s seemingly incestuous attitude towards her relationship with other men. She is then gunned down right in front of Tony. Rage ensues and Tony goes mental with an M16 eventually being shot in the stomach by the leader of the assault team.
Tony dies in his fountain displaying, “the World is Yours”. A suitable yet somber way to end the film.
Scarface is by far the best movie I have seen combining all the elements needed for a successful film.
