Watch Al Pacino turn into the meanest, most vicious gangster in the ultra-violent cult hit ‘Scarface’. This movie cemented his legendary status and went on to become a blockbuster hit! Infact one of Big B’s most well-known films Agneepath has many similarities to this classic! One can see the reflection of the lead character, gangster Tony Montana, played by Al Pacino, in the role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, played by Amitabh Bachchan in AGNEEPATH (’90).

 

If you think he was mean as Tony Montana, meet him in his next – The Devil’s Advocate as John Milton the devil Lucifer himself!!  The devil’s Advocate is the story of a hotshot lawyer who gets more than he bargained for when he learns his new boss is the Devil himself.

 

Up next is the performance which won him his very first Academy Award for Best Actor – Scent of a Woman where he plays the role of a blind man. Driven by an extravagant, tour-de-force performance by Al Pacino, Scent of a Woman is the story of Frank Slade, a blind, retired army colonel who hires Charlie Simms (Chris O'Donnell), a poor college student on the verge of expulsion, to take care of him over Thanksgiving weekend. The film follows the pair over the course of the weekend, as they learn about life through their series of adventures.

 

Al Pacino’s commitment to acting as a profession and his constant screen dominance has established him as one of the movies' true legends. Watch this legend as he essays versatile characters in smash hits of his career only on MOVIES NOW!
