Sat, 7 Jun 2008 05:24:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author whaler66 - I've seen Brian DePalma's version of Scarface three times and my verdict is still the same.....it has to be the most over directed film I've ever seen. What do I mean by that last statement? I'm talking about the way director Brian DePalma zooms in...

Wed, 28 Mar 2007 13:38:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkrue514 - Do yourself a favor. If you haven't seen this movie.. never, ever admit that in public. There will never be a better gangster or drug movie. Scarface was directed by Brian DePalmo in 1983 and it changed movies forever. Scarface was originally made in...

mvie mu-1018324: A cartoon-ish world of violence

Sun, 13 Aug 2006 15:57:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author flipperoid - Scarface is considered one of the most popular crime movies of all-time, so popular that I have seen dozens of artworks of Tony Montana ranging from t-shirts to paintings. The film is often referenced in music and very often quoted. After years of...

mvie mu-1018324: The World is Yours

Fri, 30 Sep 2005 15:43:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blade_runner83 - Perhaps the most tragic element of Brian DePalma’s 1983 bombastic gangster epic Scarface is in the film’s last moments, when the director dedicates his picture to the men who conceived the original 1932 Scarface: director Howard...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thevoid99 - In 1932, director Howard Hawks and producer Ben Hecht released a gangster film called Scarface about the rise and fall of a 1930s gangster. The film was violent and downright brutal. In the end, Hawks and Hecht's version of Scarface...

mvie mu-1018324: "All I got in this world is my balls and my word."

Sun, 16 Jan 2005 03:52:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author retro_sexua1 - Gangster fan or not, I think there's a little something for every red-blooded American in this flick, Scarface. Trying to think of just one word to describe Scarface is nearly impossible to manage. Controversial, incredible, violent, vulgar,...

Sun, 21 Nov 2004 17:54:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gurusmaran - Al Pacino. Oliver Stone. Brian de Palma. That pretty much sums up why you should see Scarface. Those of you who aren’t convinced yet, read on. Scarface is the story of Tony Montana, a Cuban refugee, who is...

Thu, 12 Aug 2004 01:40:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mrblonde79 - Brian De Palma's 1983 film Scarface (a remake of Howard Hawk's 1932 film of the same name) starring Al Pacino is certainly not (I repeat not) the creme de la creme of gangster cinema. In fact, De...

mvie mu-1018324: Say Goodnight to the Bad Guy

Thu, 18 Mar 2004 18:32:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Iamtherock - Scarface is probably the greatest movie ever made. Al Pacino stars as Tony Montana. I won't reveal much of the plot line as to not spoil such a masterpiece. I'm sure everyone has heard the phrase "say 'ello to my little friend", but there's so much more...

Sun, 28 Dec 2003 17:45:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ozweego28 - I received this DVD for Christmas, and although I've seen it a few times before, I just can't get enough of it. It's plot is basically the same as the 1932 original, except for a few key changes. Instead of taking place in Chicago's tough...

Sun, 21 Dec 2003 03:06:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richard213 - My father is South American. My mother is white. Could I be Tony Montana and Elivira's son? Probabley not, because criminal imigrant and cocaine lord of Miami, Tony Montana, is not going to win husband of the year. Al Pacino plays the Montana, better...

mvie mu-1018324: Still Legendary, still up to date. Even over 20 years after release.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sugar_seb - "Scarface" is one of those unforgettable films. It'll never die. As I write this it's the year 2003, and it's 20 years after the original release. I watched it yesterday, and gosh this film still hasn't lost anything of it's original style. The highly und...

mvie mu-1018324: Al Pacino is Scarface.

Wed, 25 Dec 2002 03:19:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bibbygreen - I first watched Scarface on VHS ten years ago and It's still my favorite movie. I've watched it over 50 times and it's still a pleasure to watch. Maybe it's because it features my favorite actor Al Pacino, or maybe it's my fascination with mob related...

mvie mu-1018324: An Al (Capone) Pacino Classic

Wed, 10 Apr 2002 16:00:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skeetz - Scarface was definitely one of Al Pacino's greatest moments in film to date. This film draws you in from the first scene and keeps you engrossed throughout the movie. The relationship between Tony Montana (Pacino) and Gina (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio)...

Tue, 8 Jan 2002 20:48:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ecn71270 - Undoubtedly one of the most controversial movies in Hollywood history, Brian DePalma's 1983 crime epic SCARFACE is a modern-day updating of the classic 1932 Howard Hawks film of the same name. This time, the setting is Miami (as opposed to Chicago), the...

mvie mu-1018324: Pacino better as a Cuban than an Italian!

Thu, 22 Nov 2001 22:50:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beeracuda - Let me first begin by saying that Scarface is not for everyone. It contains graphic violence, constant profanity, and glorified drug dealing. And I loved every minute of it.

Scarface is a very long movie - over 3 hours. It chronicles the life...

Fri, 27 Jul 2001 15:50:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author neomartin - Since watching drug dealers wielding a chainsaw near Tony Montana (Al Pacino in one of his best roles) and then seeing blood splattered all over the bathtub and the room, I have never been able to see Scarface. The movie was released in 1983, and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ParisLemon - Seen the Light

I went in to seeing this movie really through the back way. I was a huge fan of De Palma's Carlito's Way, and was amazed by Pacino pulling off his performance as the Puero Rican Carlito Brigante. I made a remark about...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattjoe - The memorable line "SAY HELLO TO MY LIL' FRIEND!" led me to put Scarface on my must see list. I was not disappointed.

Many times, when viewing an older film, much is left to be desired because of updates in special effects and film...

mvie mu-1018324: Touched By A Drug Lord

Wed, 9 May 2001 07:35:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Sneil_IV - Generally, when I think of being “touched” by something, it’s something nice and cutesy. Being “Touched By An Angel”. Listening to a sweet, touching song. Sitting on a hill and being touched by a sunset. Hearing my friends complain that, “that weird old...
