I have to agree it's a tad overrated. My main issue.
Tony Montana was not a very good gangster for a start. He was a pawn of Alejandro Sosa and the ending confirms this.
Sosa could pretty easily kill Tony any time.
He was a man motivated by greed and it was this that was manipulated by Sosa. He was allowed to operate freely as a puppet front man for Sosa in America and get rich.
But once he betrayed him it only took like 24 hours and he was dead.
He wasn't some bad a$$ demigod gangster that all these rappers would like to make you think.
The guy got caught trying to wash money. Real gangster like.
Apart from that yeah i still consider it a great movie.
