Pacino: best role (quote)

Miltamec Soundsquinaez · 02-23-2008, 06:52 PM

What was Al Pacino's greatest role ever in a movie?

I would go with Serpico, because, while the old honest man in a dishonest man's world is nothing new, I thought Pacino was completely believable in this role. He has had so many great ones, and I didn't expect to like Serpico, but it's refreshingly honest. Plus, it deals with issues that are totally pertinent today. If you haven't seen this, I strongly recommend you give it a try.

^ Make one anyway.

Serpico was good, Dog Day Afternoon, but Scarface for me.

I hate Scarface. One of the most overated films for years.

right-track · 02-23-2008, 07:21 PM

Yep, but I liked it.
The scene in the shower room, the ruthlessness, the ott ending.
Fantastic!
So fuck off!!!

Oh...and welcome back.
