MCT:September 6, 2008at the time this movie came there couldn't of been a better actor to play the role of Tony Montana than the great Al Pacino. Scarface has to be Al Pacino's greatest ever film performance. this is a remake from the 1932 film directed by Howard Hawks and now Brian DePalma directs the remake but still keeping the same title as 'scarface'. this moive shocked audiences with it's strong language,bloody violence,sex references and hard drug use. this movie also has great soundtracks from the 1980s. Scarface has to be the best gangster film of the 1980s. Scarface is also my favourite movie of all time. if you enjoyed The Godfather, this is highly Recommend.

at the time this movie came out Al Pacino had to be one of the best actors of the 1980s and also there could not of been a better person to play the role of Tony Montana. this is a remake from the 1932 film directed by Howard Hawks and director Brian DePalma still having the title as Scarface. this movie shocked audiences with its strong language,bloody violence,sex references and hard drug use. Scarface is my favourite movie of all time. has to be one of the best gangster movies of all time and also has to be the best gangster film ever to of come out in the 1980s.

Scarface is the American dream for the American Gangster. Following Tony Montanna the self proclaimed Bad Guy, from his arrival in the slums of Miami and his rise to the top. His world holding together like a powder keg steched at the seams.

After years of diplomatic silence between the United States and Cuba, Castro opens the port of Mariel Harbor, Cuba, to thousands emmigrating to the United States in search of the American dream. Shrewdly, Castro also unlocks the overpacked prisons, allowing hordes of criminals to join the refugees. Tony Montana, a small time hood, is one of them. In Florida, Montana connects with gangster Frank Lopez, and guns his way through the sun washed streets of Miami where he finds power, wealth and passion. He kills Lopez and marries his mistress, Elvira. Montana, better known as "Scarface," soon becomes the leader of a bloody cocaine-smuggling empire but at a terrible cost to his sister, Gina and his loyal friend, Manny. However, like that of others before him, Montana's reign is brief and a violent end is guaranteed as rival gangster compete to become the next drug lord. I have to say, this film as just amazing all the way through it. It had great acting by Al Pacino, Harris Yulin,Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Paul Shenar, Robert Loggia and Steven Bauer. Great action scenes in this film, especially the ending. This film was too long, but it was still good. If you liked The Godfather, then you will definetly like this film. This is possibly one of Brian DePalma's best.

A pure classic movie. Al Pacino does an incredible performance together with all the other actors. Great soundtrack also!

MCT:August 24, 2008SCARFACE
well what can i say about this film -well its about a refugee from cuba working his way to the top of the crime ladder.
it has some good scenes (the memorable chainsaw scene ) and the "say hello to my little friend scene" its a good film definately worthy of paying to see. BUT its too goddamn long 2hours 44 who in there right minds would sit around watching some guy (al Pacino) say fuck .Ill tell you who - ME thats who. I enjoy all the violence and swearing and like the fact that its got cocaine included in his trades. but like i say its a bit long .in the end tony montana (pacino) gets too boastfull and gets whats coming to him . I strongly think he should of survied at the end . I would of loved to have seen SCARFACE :part 2 Tony montanas revenge . Now if your a film writer wanting ideas theres one .but he dies ,Tony montana is brown bread . its a bit sad because he worked hard to climb the ladder .
to sum it up it is one of the films to see before you die. -

Reviewing classics. My favorite (not!). Well, no it didn't manage to do much for me. I do appreciate that things were different 25 years ago though. It did have some good moments but it seemed to jump from scene to scene which I found kind of annoying.

I fear i have very little to say about this film that will endear you in any way to it. It is an excellent and gritty portrayal of a character loosely based on the original scarface movie (circa 1930's era) and maybe with a bit of the ol' Al Capone influence (the real-life scarface) thrownin for measure. Anyway, its a great gangster flick, with violence and twists aplenty. The directors even manage to have you sympathising with the violent maniac that is Tony Montana by the end of the film. If you havent seen this film, where have you been? If you didnt like it, you didnt watch it properly.

What made this film popular was Pacino's over-the-top yet memorable performance as the crazed cocaine addicted drug dealer with his ability to explode on cue. It's quite violent so it's not for the feint-hearted.

I remembered the first time i watched Scarface.In that day,i considered to be one of greatest movies i ve ever seen in my life(and of all time,of course).Al Pacino deserves the title of the greatest actor alive.His role as the pshycotic and rutless cuban gangster Tony Montana is perhaps the best of his brilliant carreer.Brian DePalma created a amazing,brilliant and bloody masterpiece and the best gangster movie of all time alongside The Godfather and Goodfellas.Scarface teached me a very important lesson:Your own greed can become your own destruction.
I´m Tony Montana!!You fuck with me,you fucking with the best!! -

The best performance i have ever seen in my life, its not just one scene, it is the whole movie.
Of all movies i have seen this is without a doubt my favorite, and i dont think i'll ever see a better movie than this.
This movie really has everything: drama, action, joy, crime, comedy, hapiness, ...
This movie shows that Al Pacino is the greatest and most brilljant actor ever!!! -

A little violent for my taste, but this is another of those cult classics that you just have to watch. Pacino is brilliant as Tony Montana!

Scarface is another one of those classic movies, like The Godfather, that you have to see.
I'd heard about this movie and had seen the famous black and white poster everywhere for years.
Finally, I decided to buy the DVD and now I understand what all the fuss is about.
The film has a very unique and fantastic crime story with a brilliant character portrayed intensely by Al Pacino.
Being a fan of the Grand Theft Auto video games, I immediately realised where the game developer, Rockstar, got most of their inspiration from for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
The style of the game is almost identical to that of Scarface and some of the sets such as the club and the mansion are actually identical to some of the locations in the game. It was like watching a film version of Vice City!
The film has a fairly long running time, but it never feels drawn out. Its great watching the main character go from low level immigrant, to high profile drug lord. The story is told brilliantly by Brian DePalma too.
The script is another element that is also very special. Some of the dialogue between Montana and his friend is just genius.
The only complaint I have with Scarface is that sometimes it's very hard to hear what some of the characters are saying and some scenes did feel a little slow.
However, this never ruins the brilliant style of the film and the fantastic classic finale.
Overall, Scarface is brilliant and you should watch it if you love action, crime and gangster movies. You should also definitely watch it if you were like me and want to know what all the fuss is about. You won't be disappointed!

MCT:August 9, 2008Can't watch it. I've tried over and over again...but the constant use of "m...f...." makes me feel assaulted

Just watched it last night...I forgot how great Pacino was here...I enjoyed each second of the film...What made me even more thrilled was the fact it still lines up shoulder to shoulder with todays' film industry's 'products'...time did not take its toll on this film's story, characters and cast performance...Like a good vine, with time gets better:)

Scarface one of my Favourite moves of all time, just the right amount of violence and action thro out the movie. The main charter Toney Montana was played by actor Al Pacino and wasn?t it this role change my views on this actor for ever he proved that he could act.

MCT:August 3, 2008
a really impressive film despite the gratuitous violence and language, which by today's standards really doesn't seem all that gratuitous. Pacino's performance is simply outstanding, and the supporting cast is excellent as well (even the obviously non-Hispanic Cubans). the character study of Tony Montana alone is worthy of high praise--an epic antihero with a story that's a blend of American and classic Greek tradition. while this is an undoubtedly good film, the cult following behind it is rather sad and makes a solid gangster film into an overrated bad influence.

It was an awesome rise from shitland to gangsta within three years. Tony's empire was a large one. the end fight made an epic part of the film, one that Scarface lovers will never get sick of

MCT:July 31, 2008
This is the film containing the legendary say hello to my lil friend catchphrase, this is arguably the best film ever made and it stars the legendary Al Pacino as Tony Montana, my absoloute fave film, about 2 hours long but action packed all the way through, highly recommended

Now I know why the famous scene from "ScarFace" makes it a classic film. What can you say about "Al Pacino" only that his acting in this film is astonishingly brilliant and amazed me the whole course of the film. I hope he got an Oscar for his role as Tony Montana because he made this movie a hit and will forever be top of the list in classic gangster films. The particular cast was also great though I felt "Michelle Pfeiffer's character was just kind of there. Her character needed to me more in depth and show exactly what happened to her. She just sort of disappeared without a trace. Ironically enough this film came out the year I was born and I can't believe it has taken me this long to watch this classic, straight to the point cut throat movie.
