In this Oliver Stone-penned, Brian De Palma-directed ugly 1983 update of a 1932 Howard Hughes crime thriller, a Cuban refugee, Tony Montana, trades hitman services for a Green Card then ruthlessly works his way to the top of Miami's drug world, a world of violence so unrestrained it can seem ludicrous, but it is only a matter of time before Montana becomes a victim of his own lawless excess and he and all his little friends come plummeting back down with a splash.
