In this special film commemorating the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, children who lost a parent speak for the first time as adults.

Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that. The film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Latinx immigrants and uses gore and misogyny for shock value that never serves any purpose. The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.
