Summary: Say hello to my lil' friend !!!
Review: What can anybody say about Tony Montana ? Well that hes back, in a very elegant and cool colectors set with tons of features. And the best thing about it... you get the original movie for the price that would have cost you get the older version, that who knew if you got the real one.

This is trully an 80's classic. Al Pacino at his best, no other actor could have pulled this part. Casting for the movie was great... from Tony to Manolo you cant get any better. If you dont own this movie... GET IT... if you have the older version... GET THIS ONE... its worth every cent !!!

Summary: THIS IS HOT!!!
Review: Al pacino acted so good in Scarface, the cuban accent, the clothing design, the 1980's music, it was all good. The features that the Scarface Deluxe Gift Set has are awesome!! It has lobby cards, scarface (1932), red carpeting when you open it, and a gold monogrammed money clip, and of course 1983 Scarface. Every thing is re-edited to make this the bomb!!! The Scarface Anniversary edition has deleted scenes, the rebirth of scarface, acting scarface, creating scarface, Scarface: tv version, and trailers, wut the hell more do u want when u have all this??? Yo I recomend this for all the gangster movie lovers.

Summary: Scarface Deluxe Edition
Review: He loved the American dream. With a VENGANCE! Well he's back, Tony Montana that is, and now he comes with gifts. In this newly remastered release of Scarface you get a money clip, cards, Scarface(1983) and even the original. You can't beat that. And for all you people out there like me that didn't get your own copy before the company quit making em now you can own your own copy of the quite possibly best gangster film ever, excluding Godfather 2 of course. This is one of the best special editions I have ever seen and would highly recommend spending the extra ....bucks and getting this set. But you better get it quick cause its been a long time coming and they will probably go fast.

Summary: flawed film, brilliant performance
Review: Directed by Brian DePalma from an Oliver Stone script this actually feels more like an Oliver Stone picture than one of DePalmas. Stone loves excess and almost all of his films are about people who just can't get enough of something whether it be sex, drugs, rock n roll, violence or money. DePalma is a master at having fun with Hitchcock brand suspense so the Stone script seems an odd choice.

Scarface is really not a very appealing story. There aren't any heros, just a very charismatic villain. The story might pretend to be a warning against excess but it plays like a celebration of it. The film has been ridiculed for being "excessive" in its depiction of drugs and violence and thats a fair argument but if you see beyond that to the character Tony Montana you will see that though the picture and the script might qualify it as an "exploitation" picture, the main character is something more. The character Tony Montana is what makes the film watchable and how well Al Pacino plays him. The accent is especially good but also the look, the strut, the attitude is just perfect. The character seems authentic which is rare in films of any kind. I think that authenticity is what makes this picture linger in the memory and make you want to watch it again every few years.

It amazes me that DePalma made the film. Nothing in DePalmas film history would lead you to believe that he would be interested in this type of character or story. Maybe he was just offered the job and took it. I like DePalmas films and Blow-Out & Carlitos Way are far superior in every way to this film but Scarface is not a directors or a screenwriters film. Its an actors film, its Pacinos film. The film does not romanticize violence(like Bonnie and Clyde for instance)but what it does that hurts the picture is show so much violence(especially at the end) that its easy to forget this is not an action picture but a character study. What makes the film and its main character seem authentic is that it really doesn't attempt to show its character in any but an unflattering light. Hes charismatic but hes a career criminal and the argument that Stone seems to be making is that circumstance made him that way. So I suppose if there is a redeeming argument to be made in defense of the film it is that message: social injustice and abject poverty create monsters. If it wasn't for all that coke the film might also work as a comment on Americas obsession with money and how Tony Montanas excesses just reflect American excesses but the coke kind of blurs that issue.

Do not expect a masterpiece but see the film for Al Pacinos performance as Tony Montana, a character you will not soon forget.

Summary: Scarface
Review: I just ordered Scarface over the Internet. It is bootlegged, but I don't care, as long as I have the movie. I will buy the aniversery edition this September. I was truly amazed with this film, it was powerful because of Pacino's acting. This film is similar to Grand Theft Auto Vice City. It is like a clone of the film, with different characters. Both mansions are very similar, the cars are similar, the characters, and even the night club. I recommend this film to any Al Pacino fan, or any fan to great american films. This movie rivals the Godfather series, and is better than Godfellas. If you like Pacino you would like the 1973 film Serpico.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: "You know what Capitalism is?"
Review: Scarface. The Crime Drama genre has produced some truly powerful and entertaining films. One of the more controversial ones is 1983's Scarface. It is a film that has earned a reputation for its violence and profanity. However, it's a reputation unearned. Scarface is graphic, but nowhere near as brutal as Goodfellas or even Pulp Fiction. Though I consider Scarface to be the best work from De Palma, who has spent his long career trapped in the shadow of his influences, always crafting tributes that are pale reflections of something greater; and in a sense, this can be said of Scarface. But Scarface works on its own terms. That's because the power of this film has nothing to do with De Palma, and everything to do with Oliver Stone's script and Al Pacino's brilliant, over the top interpretation of Tony Montana, a piece of Cuban filth who has all the grace and intelligence of an ape. This guy is the anti-Michael Corleone. From dirt-poor dishwasher to wealthy drug lord. Oliver Stone uses this Third World refugee trash to expose the murderous corruption of the "American Dream". Unfortunately, Scarface is an unnecessary three hours, so there are time when the pace can begin to drag. This film would have been much better with tighter direction and faster editing. Yet, the bullet-ridden finale is a worthy pay-off. A classic film in its own way. Like it or not.

Review: The is Pacino in his best form. This movie is one of the greatest movies of all time. What makes it even more desireable is that it has been unavailiable for such a long time (except cheap bootleg copies from Hong Kong)
