It's a pretty good movie, except that the ending is kinda dull compared to the rest of the movie. But, all in all, not a bad flick. |

One of the most definitive gangster films of the 80's, Scarface is very much a film of its time. The first thing you notice when you watch this film is that it is screaming at you, 'made in 1983'. The costumes, the music score and soundtrack, the hairstyles, make no mistake about it this is a film all about crime in the 80's and while it should have dated horribly it hasn't. This is still a superb film. While Georgio Moroder's music has dated a fair bit, it still compliments the story of Tony Montana well thanks to the superb screenplay by Oliver Stone and the first class direction of Brian De Palma, one of two films that he has made with Pacino (the other being the fantastic Carlito's Way). All of De Palma's trademarks are here; the strong language, the graphic violence, the stylish exce... |

Say Hello To My Little Friend! |
|
After 24 years of life, I finally sat through Scarface from beginning to end. I was pleasantly surprised by it. Going into this movie I thought I was going to have to sit through and an hour an a half of boring rising to the top scenes and then finish off the last half hour with obnoxious gunfights and catchphrase quotes. However, Scarface did a good job of keeping an interesting plot and good, not too over the top action scene. Pacino was good, which goes without saying. I didn't give this four stars, but I don't know what could be done to make it better. Though I do think that for the type of movie it is, it is one of the best ever made of its kind. |

Say Heloo to my Little Friend |
|
"Scarface" starts off with an overly tanned Al Pacino getting interrogated by three Immigrations Officers. His character, Cuban Tony Montana, recently arrived in America, and is trying to hide his obvious history of crime from the cops. This scene lasts quite long, and is both an interesting and funny introduction to one of America's most favorite characters. I was content.
After three long hours "Scarface" ends with one of cinema's most bloody gunfights. Because of his betraying mob boss Sosa (Paul Shenar), Tony "Scarface" Montana is attacked in his mansion by at least thirty machine-gun toting assassins. After his sister and bodyguards are killed, Scarface pulls an assault rifle out of his cabinet and introduces the assassins to "his little friend". I was very content.
