Anthony Montana Final Scene Analysis

The movie the group decided on is called Scarface. The scenes we chose was the final scene when Tony goes for one final face off in an all out shoot out in his home. A classic scene where Tony says his famous line “Say hello to my little friend!” and begins his last stand as a one man army.
