Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best over the top role in history.
Review: This movie is one of my favorites. It has the best over the top role in the history of film. You really thought that Al Pacino was a refugge from Cuba in the Cuban crime wave. I know that there arn't much films that represent this subject but this is the best. The only thing that bothered me was the infamous "chainsaw" scene. (Those people who saw the film know what i'm talking about.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You wanna know how much this movie rocks...
Review: I have seen this movie about eleven times, and I still would not mind watching it again. This movie was the one to start a lot of stereotypes about Cuban's. Al Pacino, playing the character of Antonio Montana, made this movie as popular as it is today. He has the ability to go all out, and that's exactly what he does in this movie, He goes all out. But I don't love this movie for the explosions, I love this movie for the story. The way everything seems to turn against "Antonio Montana" is just amazing. So i would say that if you are thinking of buying this video, go for it, because it is wel worth the money. Doesn't matter if you like Action in the movies you watch, or if you like story, This movie has got it all. I would give this movie 5 stars out of 5. I think it is Al Pacino's best movie...EVER.

Summary: A Poor Movie That Is Crude Enough To "Scar" A Viewer
Review: I saw Brian DePalma's "Scarface" in a theater when I was a big fan of violent action movies. "Scarface" is one of DePalma's very worst movies.

Cuban refugee Tony Montana(Al Pacino) becomes a drug dealer in Florida. Montana rises to power as a cocaine kingpin but his success is only short-lived.

"Scarface" is Brian DePalma's second worst film after "Raising Cain." The viewers don't develop any real concern for Al Pacino's character. In such masterpieces as "Carrie" and "Dressed To Kill," DePalma brilliantly combined lurid sexual motifs with the graphic violence taking place in the films. In "Scarface," DePalma attempts to interweave themes regarding incest into the violent storyline but these efforts are hollow and heavy-handed. DePalma's film is raunchy and crude to the point of being farcical. The movie probably has more swearing than any film in the history of cinema. As a crime film, "Scarface" has none of the decency and intelligence that is evident in the work of Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese. One of the movie's few redeeming features is an AWESOME one-man-versus-an-entire-army action sequence towards the end of the film.

"Scarface" is nothing more than a foul-mouthed, trashy, and forgettable film. The movie is only for diehard Al Pacino fans, people who merely want to see violent action, and those who feel that they need to see every Brian DePalma film. For DePalma's best crime film, see "The Untouchables."

Summary: WOULD YOU KISS ME IF I WEAR THE HAT!?
Review: This is one of the greatest movies of all time and the AFI top 100 movies of all time refuses to acknowledge it. Al Pacino deserved an oscar for his portrayal of Tony Montana, the movie deserved an oscar for something yet this movie is constantly overlooked by all critics, but the cult following that it has amassed is by far more telling of it's popularity than sheer box office numbers. ask anyone on the street and they'll tell you Scarface is one of the best movies ever made, and if they don't think so they haven't seen it. So sit back, crack some hennessy and alize, light up a cigar, and enjoy one of the best movies ever made!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 100% Classic
Review: "Scarface" is without a doubt one of the best movies of the past 25 years for many reasons. As seen in this special edition DVD, it pushed the envelope to the point of tearing it wide open. "Scarface" doesn't just succeed because of shock value, though; It's actually a very enthralling story because of the plot and because of the character created by screenwriter Oliver Stone and brought to life by Al Pacino in one of the most memorable performances ever in a movie. Its supporting characters and also the fact that it was based loosely on actual events further the film and serve to make it more real and gripping. The violence, drug abuse, profanity, and glitzy Miami setting all complete the film by showing the insane world that Tony Montana has created for himself.

The plot basically shows the rise and fall of Tony Montana from coming to America on a "Banana Boat" to eventually getting gunned down in his mansion. Along the way, he lives the American dream by buying nice material possesions and getting a trophy wife who is more trouble than she's worth. Despite the serious subject matter of the film, there is plenty of levity in Pacino's performance and in his now famous one liners. "Scarface" proves to be a captivating and shocking journey through one man's vision of the American dream.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie Ever!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Review of the "Scarface" Anniversary Edition DVD
Review: "Scarface" has finally been given the proper DVD treatment with this special 20th anniversary edition of the movie. While originally dismissed by film critics as an ultra-glossy celebration of violence, profanity, and drug use, this movie has now earned its rank as a modern-day classic. Al Pacino's ultra-charismatic performance of Cuban refugee turned drug kingpin, Tony Montana is certainly the highlight of this massive crime epic.

Tony and his partner, Manolo have exiled from Cuba and are looking to capitalize on the "American dream". Starting off as foot soldiers for boss Frank Lopez, they soon move their way up the ladder in the world of drug-dealing. With bloodbaths and double-crosses at every turn of the corner, Tony eventually finds himself on top of the drug kingdom with Lopez's beautiful girlfriend (Michelle Pfeifer) as his wife and a fortune in drug money at his disposal.

"Scarface" is not a beautiful love story. It is in its essence, a tale of capitalism gone awry. While Pacino's Montana is often viewed as a loyal guy, it is his greed that manages to destroy not only himself but everyone around him. He fiends for his boss' girlfriend out of lust, not love. His relationship with this character is never treated as a romance. She is a prize that comes with the territory. The only person Tony does seem to have unconditional love for is his sister but even that love is of a such a controlling nature that he never allows for her to find true happiness. By the end of the second act, Tony is so caught up in his world of greed and drug-enduced paranoia that he seems all but finished. The murder of his best friend seems to foreshadow his own downfall.

This movie has become a staple of pop culture. Montana's trademark lines have been quoted in every movie from FRIDAY to ACE VENTURA: WHEN NATURE CALLS. While it was originally best known for its violence in such scenes as the infamous chainsaw sequence and the bullet-riddled conclusion, "Scarface" has grown to be a larger-than-life film.

While this movie is revered by many as a true classic, the film itself is flawed but it is in those subtle imperfections that we have come to know and love this film. Pacino's trademark accent is ridicilous but appealing nonetheless. In fact, most of the Cuban characters are played by Italian-American actors. Steven Bauer, one of the select few authentic Cuban actors in the film is entertaining in his portrayal of Manolo, Tony's sidekick.

This "special edition" DVD presentation is amazing. We get an in-depth look at the making of the film, deleted scenes, and an explanation of the influence of the film on today's audience. This DVD is definetly an essential addition to any true film buff's collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SAY 'EllO TO MA LIL' FRIEND!!!!
Review: Scarface is a crime masterpiece. Released in the 1980's it had a big fight with the MPAA to keep it R, not X!

Basicly, it's about this Cuban guy named Tony Montana who was a criminal in Cuba, after escaping a camp in Florida for Cuban criminal immagrants, joins the life of crime. And so begins the rise [and fall] of Tony!

If you liked GTA, you will like this! Lots of action, swearing, crime, you name it. It's a pretty long movie, so hold on! A mob masterpiece!
