Al Pacino classic gangster masterpiece

The Cuban refugee young Tony (Al Pacino Al Pacino ornaments) escaped to Miami, the United States, and became a typical American street gangster who is not afraid of the sky and the ground. Tony worked under a local drug lord. He was quickly appreciated because he was ruthless, bold and careful, and helped the boss to complete several tasks very well. He became the first right-hand man of the drug lord. However, Tony was not satisfied with this. He first took a big order from the Venezuelan drug lord, and then removed his thorns one by one, and his power continued to expand. By the time his boss feels threatened, it's too late, and Tony kills the boss and dominates the Miami drug market. After Tony gained power, his character began to become suspicious, and he was full of doubts about the people around him, even close family members and good brothers. Suspicion made him gradually embark on the road of no return!

Behind-the -scenes production

of classic gangster films, which appeared in 1931, directed by the famous director Howard Hawks, starring Paul Mooney, the plot is based on the Chicago gangster leader Al Capone, and producer Howard Hughes shot two different endings. The new version is based on the Cuban refugee tide. The story is weaker than the original version, but it has an epic style and fails to present new vision and ideological depth outside of a large number of popular scenes. Al Pacino interprets the character's irritability with his usual big moves. As for the protagonist's sexual tendencies, as in the first version, it is only a slight hint.
