Scent of a Woman | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

As the irascible, drunken Frank Slade, Al Pacino is convincingly obnoxious and loutish, but the character doesn't grow: this is a lout with, underneath it all, the heart of a lout.

There's nothing as convincing as an Army vet talking to privileged prep school boys about boys in battle getting legs blown off, and how, when the bullets fly downrange, some boys run and some stand their ground. Every high schooler needs to see it.

Pacino's performance is that rare kind that captivates all on its own, stealing every scene away from everyone else in it.

A film of great power.
