Frank White

Image

Roy Bishop: You expected to get away with killing all these people?
Frank White: I spent half my life in prison. I never got away with anything, and I never killed anybody that didn't deserve it.
Roy Bishop: Who made you judge and jury?
Frank White: Well, it's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.

Vs

Tony Montana

Image

Tony Montana: I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
Tony Montana: I kill a communist for fun, but for a green card, I gonna carve him up real nice.




Can the King of New York defeat Scarface? Voting goes until Sunday night.

The last great character Pacino ever played. Everything since has just been Pacino-esque caricatures.

Sorry Mr. White, but Scarface would carve you up.

Best central performance in any film ever.

The votes for Tony Montana are higher than he is after one of his cocaine binges!

Richard Roma. GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS.

Yes, he does some yelling, but I don't think that performance qualifies as a caricature.

I've never seen King of New York, but I do know that Christopher Walken is invincible.

The problem I have with Pacino as Tony Montana is that he takes the performance over the top right from the beginning of the film and then has no place to go. So he stays there.

And with a few notable exceptions, has stayed there ever since.

I'm not a big DePalma fan anyway, so the movie's never been one of my favorites.
