A very good film about a former drug dealing Puerto Rican hood trying to get straight in life. Features great performances by Pacino and Penn, aswell as Penelope Ann Miller. Also, a very humorous performance by Luis Guzman. ("Come on papi, it'll be fun! Come on!") This film is very good, arguably better than Scarface. (Though I like it better than SF, SF is a better overrall film.)
RRA shared this tid bit with me, did you know Brando was supposed to play the part of Tony T? A Corleone reunion, eh?
Apocalypse Now (1979, Coppola) ****
The story of a man sent to kill a Colonel gone crazy in the jungles of Vietnam, this film is an excellent metaphor to the craziness of the Vietnam War. Marlon Brando and Martin Sheen are simply exquisite, with excellent support from Robert Duvall, this film's one of the best ever. Francis Ford Coppola's last "EXCELLENT" film.
