You wanna play rough? Okay. Say hello to my little
One of the most definitive gangster films of the 80's, Scarface is very much a film of its time. The first thing you notice when you watch this film is that it is screaming at you, 'made in 1983'. The costumes, the music score and soundtra...

Say Hello To My Little Friend!
After 24 years of life, I finally sat through Scarface from beginning to end. I was pleasantly surprised by it. Going into this movie I thought I was going to have to sit through and an hour an a half of boring rising to the top scenes an...

"Scarface" starts off with an overly tanned Al Pacino getting interrogated by three Immigrations Officers. His character, Cuban Tony Montana, recently arrived in America, and is trying to hide his obvious history of crime from the cops. Th...

Whas you talkin?
I don't care if people think this is over rated. It's not. I don't think anyone ever said it was a great movie, it's just that tons of people love it. Rags to riches at it's grimiest best. It appeals to people who don't have it all. It's m...

Brian De Palma and Oliver Stone's disasterpiece
Probably the most over rated movie ever that is just plain bad. Engaging for about the first half hour and then over the top ridiculous for the last 2 and a half. Al Pacinos worst performance set to one of the worst scores in movie history...

This movie is overrated :) While i did enjoy it to a point it didn't do anything extraordinary for me (not even Pacinos good acting) and i wouldn't even bother with the original since i never liked Howard Hawks. American cinema mostly just...

Scarface Quick Review
It's a pretty good movie, except that the ending is kinda dull compared to the rest of the movie. But, all in all, not a bad flick.

Scarface Quick Review
A decent criminal caper, if not the masterpiece rappers will have you believe it is. Still, Al Pacino looks like he's having a great time, and it's pretty much worth it to watch that final shoot-out.

Scarface Quick Review
I was really excited to see this movie for the first time, but I was eventually let down. There were was not enough things going on at a quick enough pace for it to really be a great movie. I enjoy long movies if they are paced well and told well, this one is not. Plus, the really bad 80's music shows its age. Still, a good gangster to movie to watch and there are some really great scenes.

A classic,classic!
by William P. Merriam (Scottsdale, AZ)
It would be hard to over-compliment this film. So I will not try, but it probably should be seen by students, high school and above, just to get one aspect of our society in perspective.
We move so rapidly on to new trends and new dramatic situations in our country that we forget what some older films portraying a segment of our culture has to tell us. This film tells us a lot!!

Drug dealing induces social schizophrenia
by Jacques COULARDEAU (OLLIERGUES France)
Don't let yourself be lured by the picture of the poor Cubans under the dictatorship of Fidel Castro who is kicking them out of the island. It is hinted these exiled people are far from being clean. They are the dregs of society and coming directly out of prison. Scarface is no exception. He is scum and scum he will remain till the end. The Americans are not lured at all, at least the police, but they are under strong pressure to provide these poor refugees with "libertad". As soon as Scarface gets that freedom he starts his business, from scratch and from the bottom, but he knows how to climb fast and how to get rid of obstacles and his road is punctuated with bodies or parts of bodies. In no time at all he is the boss and he is able to realize his ambition: millions from the opening Colombian route (cocaine of course) whereas those he eliminated to get in their place were only making a few grands. But the story of this man is the story of a paranoid and schizophrenic sociopath. He climbs to power and cannot see he has to share that power with newcomers. He defends his territory like a lion or a grizzly bear and his power becomes a war, a constant war in which everything and everyone is destroyed. That makes a perfect action film full of violence as if it were loaded with cocaine, but with a more human dimension in the character of Scarface himself who is impersonated marvelously by Al Pacino. The acting is so good that it transcends the pure bloody violence of the images and the plot. We can admire how Brian de Palma paints and composes his character to make him so true to what we can believe. He becomes a masterpiece in that psychological line in spite of the total absence of any other depth, social, cultural, political or whatever.

Brian De Palma's SCARFACE
by Dr. Feelgood (USA)
This is probably De Palma's best film and one of Al Pacino's best as well. Maybe he was better in the Godfather, but Scarface was more entertaining to watch. The film was a departure for De Palma, who tends to film Hitchcock type films, until now, like Dressed to Kill and Blow Out.

One of those rare times that I cheer for the bad guy
by Migzilla (Arizona)
Scarface is probably my favorite movie. It's very rare that I ever end up liking the bad guy of a movie, but this was one of those rare occasions. But Tony wasn't really a bad guy, was he? He was dirt poor and did what he felt he had to do to enjoy life. Following the rules meant he would work as a dish washer. Breaking the rules meant he would have more cash than he could possibly spend.
But here's what I liked about Tony. Even though he was a thug, and he definitely was, he had a soft side. He was saddened by the fact that he couldn't have kids. He wasn't a womanizer. When an associate of his asks Tony to carry out a hit, in exchange for getting him out of trouble, Tony refuses. He refuses because carrying out this hit meant innocent children would be killed. Tony is many things, but he won't be responsible for the death of innocent children. Instead, he shoots his associate before the hit was carried out. Tony wanted to make peace with his mother and take care of her and his sister (since his father ran out on them when they were kids). She refused because she knew what he was. I don't feel sorry for Tony, but I did find him to be a likable person. If he could have made lots of money legitimately, he would have done so. Aside from that, aren't his oppressors criminals too? No, because his oppressors are the ones who get to make up the rules! By what authority? By the authority granted to them by the fact that they have bigger guns.
Scarface is extremely violent and has more curse words than any other movie I can think of. However, it's a great movie and a great story. Tony gets what's coming to him in the end. He chose to live by the sword and so he died by the sword. But in the end, I can't help but ask myself who the real bad guys are. Don't get me wrong, he was a bad guy and deserved what he got. But was he the only real bad guy in this story? He was only in business because there were cops out there accepting bribes. It's as they say, "don't hate the player, hate the game." If Scarface were a real person, I would have no sympathy for him. But since this is only a movie, I guess it sort of justifies it...at least in my mind.
Scarface (Platinum Edition) Summary
Movie Dvd
This sprawling epic of bloodshed and excess, Brian De Palma's update of the classic 1932 crime drama by Howard Hawks, sparked controversy over its outrageous violence when released in 1983.
Scarface
is a wretched, fascinating car wreck of a movie, starring Al Pacino as a Cuban refugee who rises to the top of Miami's cocaine-driven underworld, only to fall hard into his own deadly trap of addiction and inevitable assassination. Scripted by Oliver Stone and running nearly three hours, it's the kind of film that can simultaneously disgust and amaze you (critic Pauline Kael wrote "this may be the only action picture that turns into an allegory of impotence"), with vivid supporting roles for Steven Bauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Robert Loggia. Universal's special edition digital video disc includes a documentary about the making of the film that features numerous interviews and several deleted scenes.
