Critique: When an actor is defined by three films, it pretty much spells out greatness. What Al Pacino has established in film is unaccounted for from his performance as Michael Corleone to Tony Montana, Al Pacino gives his best everytime he is on the big screen.

Even though he has only won one award for Best Actor, Al Pacino has been able to demonstrate professionally to what means a actor could reach.
