Summary: Al Pacino is GOD!
Review: I actually see some people didn't give this movie 5 stars. I'm heading to my shrink today to try and understand why.As I said in my title, Pacino is GOD! Al plays a Cuban immigrant with an eye for money and power. He slowly works his way up in the cocaine biz, going through anyone and anything that gets in his way. Pacino's character is one who is beset with many emotional problems. He has an obsession with his sister that is kind of creepy. However, the character does have some morals. He will not kill women or children, and there is something about this coked out drug dealer you just have to love. I don't think any other actor could have pulled off this kind of performance. One of the top ten movies I've seen to date. I'll say it one last time. Al Pacino is God!!!!!

Summary: Classic Film&Finally the extras
Review: I enjoyed all of the extra's.some folks who don't know much about Rap&Hip-Hop Culture don't understand how this Film Influenced so many but I'll tell you why:Al Pacino's Role related to the Hood in so many ways.He was Portraying a Miniority in this Country trying to get His Hustle on for His Papers.this Film talked directly to me back in 83&He didn't back down from nobody&wanted His Voice to Be heard.the truth of the Matter without the Rap/Hip-Hop Community this Classic wouldn't be getting half the Love it gets now.so Many Great Quotes Here&if you are about doing your thing then you can Relate to TOny Montana.Oliver Stone made my day saying He got the Name from San Francisco 49er Great Joe Montana.that is Classic.I enjoyed the whole expierence uncut.IMHO this was Al Pacino's Last Knock Out ROle.He has Good Roles since but not One where You would quote Half the Film Over&over again.I can watch this Movie anytime.

Summary: The American Dream...
Review: Scarface is a straightforward gangster movie, following a potty-mouthed Cuban who attempts to find success in Miami, Florida. The Cuban, named Tony Montana, is beautifuly played by Al Pacino, known for his work in The Godfather series. The plot of Scarface may seem a bit on the generic side, but once you begin to watch the film, a terrific story can be told here. The movie never slows down, with many action sequences, such as the infamous and gory chainsaw scene near the beginning, and many others. You'd be surprised how much ground this fim covers in two and a half hours. And as I said before, Al Pacino does a fantastic job playing a man who wants too much out of life and will do anything to get it. Fans of the Godfather series may find Scarface to be a little too simple, and not convoluted enough. I am a huge fan of both films, and Scarface makes you feel good to be bad. After all, this is a DVD, and no DVD would be complete without extras. The extras to be found here are not going to completely dazzle you, but I got some extra enjoyment out of them. There is one puzzler in the extras, and that is how rappers say that this movie had influenced them to a high degree in their music. Believe me, I am a huge fan of rap and hip-hop. I just don't see how the rap scene quite fits in with Scarface. Rappers would seem to like Training Day better. But whatever the case is, Scarface is an amazing and classic gangster film that most people will get a lot of joy out of, even if it is a little gory or over-the-top every now and then.

Summary: Amazing
Review: Possible one of Pacino's best works with the exception of the "Godfather" This master piece is the best film of the 1980s.
No matter how you look at this movie there is no way of not liking it.

Summary: Say hello to my little friend
Review: In 1983, I was 18 and remember being blown away by Brian DePalma's gangster epic Scarface, Twenty years later I'm not so sure what the fuss was about. The story is familiar to just about everyone. Tony Montana (Al Pacino) comes to America as part of the Cuban boat lift with literally nothing. He kills a Communist in Feedom City and becomes friends with Frank Lopez (Robert Loggia) Miami's leading cocaine dealer. The film arc at this point follows the story line of the 1932 Howard Hawks film of the same title and Montana rises to be a powerful drug lord. Eventually getting in trouble because of his own need to achieve he is then brutally murdered by the Columbian cartel. Limited support for Pacino's over the top portrayal comes from best fiend Manny (Stephen Bauer) and a very young Michelle Pieffer who plays love interest Elvira. The 20th Anniversary Edition presents the film in widescreen with Dolby 5.1 sound. The picture looks great thanks to the late John A. Alonzo's cinematography but I felt that the sound left a little to be desired. The performances have become legendary and Pacino carries the film with his completely over the top portrayal. Supporting players do little more than allow him to show off his acting ability. Is this grat cinema? After 20 years reflection, my answer would be no but it is a good genre film. The problem is that when this movie came out it was completely innovative in terms of violence and language. Today, we have simply seen this before. The 2:50 length also detracts. There are places in the film where it seems to crawl. Overall, the film is good but it simply is not what I remembered from twenty years ago. Perhaps I'm just getting old. The special features comprise an entire disc but offer nothing spectacular. The best feature is a series of making of type documentaries hosted by producer Martin Bregman with interviews with Oliver Stone, Pacino, Bauer, and film composer Georgio Morodor. This feature discusses the film from its origins to actual filming and ratiting difficulties. There is also a television edits reel that is more funny than enlightening. A twenty minute deleted scenes feature offers little since there is no context in which to view these scenes and no director commentary. Def Jam has added a feature explaining why the film has become a Hip Hop classic and features many performer interviews. This feature is interesting and offers a look inside the rap industry. Overall this would be a good rental if you're not an absolute fan. A piece of cultural history maybe but not what I remembered.

Summary: "I Always Tell the Truth, Even When I Lie."
Review: At this point, there's no need for me to summarize the plot of this much-revered gangster epic by Brian DePalma. Chances are, you've already seen this movie, and if you haven't, then you know somebody else who has. What I WILL discuss is the DVD, which I have been anxiously awaiting for at least a couple years. I bought "Scarface" during my lunch break from the office and waited impatiently for the day to end so I could rush home and watch it later that evening. As most of you all know, "Scarface" was originally released many years ago on DVD, but was slammed by many for its terrible picture quality and crummy sound. It got yanked out of print, and now a 2-disc version has been re-released for its 20th anniversary. So, how's the picture? It's not flawless, but it certainly looks impressive for a 1983 film. The colors are rich and the picture delivers a fairly sharp image throughout. I didn't notice that many print flaws; however, the darker scenes were a bit fuzzy at times. Regardless, Universal redeemed itself in a big way and did a very good job fixing this picture. The sound, however, is my sole disappointment. I own a five-channel system, and most of the sound came from the center speaker. Even the shootings (and there are several) came from the center! This is particularly upsetting, considering that "Scarface" is a very loud and action-packed film. In fact, the main occasion where the sound moved to the front and rear channels is during Giorgio Moroder's chessily synthetic 1980's score. Quite simply, the remastering didn't always allow the sound to utilize all five speakers as it should have. It would have been nice if the sound moved to the surrounding speakers during the more action-oriented scenes. I know this is nitpicking, but I am a royal pain when it comes to these details. However, the second disc of supplements is an attractive package. It has a few documentaries including interviews with, among others, DePalma, Al Pacino, and Oliver Stone (who wrote the script). There's also another documentary that covers the movie's influence on hip hop culture, featuring interviews with P. Diddy, Eve, Snoop Dogg, Russell Simmons, and, yep, the Geto Boy Scarface himself. This clip has prompted some interesting responses from viewers, and others turn their nose at it, asking "What does 'Scarface' have to do with hip hop?" Well, here's my $.02 on this matter. If you don't like hip hop, that's fine. But only an ignorant fool would deny the clear and obvious connection between this film and gangsta rap. Like many rappers, Tony Montana had a tough background, overcame adversity, and quickly climbed his way to be one of the baddest thugs in the business. It is mainly this reason why "Scarface" survived its box office failure and grew to be an underground classic. But hip hop connections or not, this movie is a hugely entertaining film with an explosive performance by Al Pacino. It isn't perfect, but it's vivid, incredibly outrageous, and invites multiple viewings. Even though the DVD's sound leaves much for improvement, "Scarface" gets the green light from me. Buy this movie and reunite yourself with "your little friend."
