This sprawling epic of bloodshed and excess, Brian De Palma's update of the classic 1932 crime drama by Howard Hawks, sparked controversy over its outrageous violence when released in 1983. Scarface is a wretched, fascinating car wreck of a movie, starring Al Pacino as a Cuban refugee who rises to the top of Miami's cocaine-driven underworld, only to fall hard into his own deadly trap of addiction and inevitable assassination. Scripted by Oliver Stone and running nearly three hours, it's the kind of film that can simultaneously disgust and amaze you (critic Pauline Kael wrote "this may be the only action picture that turns into an allegory of impotence"), with vivid supporting roles for Steven Bauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Robert Loggia. --Jeff Shannon
Customer Reviews:
Overrated movie by an overrated director.......2007-09-09
Scarface is overlong, excessively vulgar and violent. I agree that this movie has been influential, but for all the wrong reasons. Many gangster rap groups, most notably the Geto Boys, used many soundbites from Scarface throughout their career to accentuate their bravado or "hardcore attitude toward life." It's a shame that De Palma convinced so many talented people to waste their time with this gutter trash. Howard Hawks' Scarface is still superior in every way.

yes i enjoyed very much the movie its a very cool movie.
i hope to buy some more stuff jaja XD thanks
AL PACINO IS THE MAN!!.......2007-09-01
scarface is one of my very favorites. this movie is very powerful, beautifully done, and one of the most influential of all time. no matter how many movies al pacino does, he will always be known as tony montana aka scarface no matter what. this role was made for him, he was born for this. the rise and fall of this man, the love he won and lost, the power he earned and abused, the drugs he bought, sold, did, and that destroyed him. at the end he went out like a real man, taking a lot of fools with him. he went down like a soldier, but they killed him from the back like cowards. this was the life for him, the life he dreamed of, the life he achieved, but in the end it caught up to him. it always does. it got to him. the life and everything that came with it. for a brief moment the world was his. a gauranteed pleaser. no doubt.
Pacino Rocks.......2007-08-26
In the 1980's Castro emptied his prisons. In this movie Tony Montana comes to America. Very violent movie which depicts the cocaine wars in southern Florida.

Howard Hawks's Scarface was one of the first "talkies" to reclaim the fluidity of the late-silent masterpieces, while also tapping into a feral new energy that came with talking smart and moving smarter on the motion picture screen. Outgunning such contemporaries as Little Caesar and The Public Enemy--in terms of both its ferocious death-dealing and dynamic style--the movie was interfered with by censors and kept out of circulation for decades thanks to its eccentric producer, Howard Hughes. It remains the gold standard among classic gangster pictures. Paul Muni's portrayal of Al Capone surrogate Tony Camonte etched a screen original: a merciless assassin who's not only reflexively criminal but pre-civilized, almost pre-evolutionary, a simian shadow ready to rub out the world if he can't have it for his own. This is still one of the greatest, darkest, most deeply exciting films American cinema has produced. Those demonically ubiquitous X's--starting with that titular scar gouged into Tony's cheek--rival "Rosebud" for resonance. --Richard T. Jameson
Description
Generally regarded to be the best of the classic gangster films, Scarface tells the exciting story of organized crime's brutal control over Chicago during the Prohibition era. Oscar winner Paul Muni gives an electrifying performance as Tony Carmonte, an ambitious criminal with a ruthless drive to be the city's top crime boss. Produced and directed by the legendary Howard Hawks, Scarface was a groundbreaking film which established both Paul Muni and George Raft as major Hollywood stars, while influencing all gangland films to follow.
Customer Reviews:
The First and Best.......2007-08-23
This Howard Hawks directed gangster film, which a thinly disguised story of Al Capone is much, much better than the Pacino mess, with much less violence ( the film IS violent for its day ) and a " weird " subtext. Paul Muni is great as the mob boss of Chicago, Ann Dvorak is outstanding as his sister, as is Karen Morley as " Poppy " Tony's ( Muni's ) girlfriend, and both ladies are very hot, especially Ms. Dvorak, real name Ann McKim. Ben Hecht, a former Chicago newspaper man, wrote the script, along with W.R. Burnett, Seton Miller, and John Lee Mahin, Howard Hughes Produced.
A HOMICIDAL COMEDY.......2007-07-13
Like the Brian DePalma remake, Howard Hawks' original 1932 "Scarface" is a comedy with bullets telling the tale of the rise and fall of one Tony Camonte, an apish thug whose motto is: "Do it first, do it yourself, and keep on doing it." As he effortlessly rises to the top, climbing over such lesser lights as the cowardly Lovo played by Osgood Perkins--Anthony's father and a renowned stage actort in his day--and the hot-headed Gaffney--Boris Karloff, accent and all--he accidentally or purposely loses his friends, the coin-flipping Guino Rinaldo (George Raft in his star-making role), the bumbling Angelo (Vince Barnett), the icy-hot blonde Poppy (Karen Morley) and the sister he not-so-secretly lusts after (Ann Dvorak). When all are gone and he stands alone, he's an actor without an audience and the show is over.
Don't bother trying to decide which version is better--both are execllent genre entries in their own way. But be aware that Hawks' film caused as much outrage in 1932 as DePalma's version did a half-century later--and for good reason.
Best Scarface .......2007-07-13
Great movie. Better than the 'other' Scarface. Amazing film, never slowed down. Very highly recommended.
SKIMPY...WHY?.......2007-06-12
With such an historic and classic film, that really deserves a commentary track or maybe two, (one, on the films making and importance by film historians, and two, by gangster historians, to elaborate just how close to the truth this film was at the time). It is the same version that came out a few years ago in that SCARFACE box set (exclusive). At least it is out for the people who did`nt want to pay that high price. I did`nt get that then, and I`m not getting this now, since I`ve had this on VHS for a number of years now. I`ll wait for the special edition, or the collectors edition, or the anniversary edition, or the extended edition, or the directors cut edition. PS. I can probably build a whole library of first edition DVDs (sans frills), that were made obsolete when the special editions became available. Tomorrow the special edition two disc version of The Hustler is coming out, OH BOY, maybe I can decorate my Xmas tree with all the first editions.
An early gangster film and a cinema landmark.......2007-05-26
I see reviews here dating back to the year 2000. This review is for the Universal Cinema Classics release of Scarface that came out in May 2007. First off, the video and audio on this print are excellent. There is no hissing in the audio, and there are very few artifacts in the video. The extras are another matter. First there is an introduction by TCM host and film historian Robert Osborne who provides the same excellent short introduction that he would were Scarface playing in prime time on TCM and he were introducing it there - no more, no less. The only other extra is an alternate ending scene for Scarface. There is no commentary track, which is a shame considering this film, along with "Little Caesar" and "The Public Enemy" form the founding trio of the gangster film in the sound era of the motion picture.
As for the movie itself, it is based on real events that happened in the criminal career of Al Capone, although Capone's criminal career had already ended with his conviction on charges of tax evasion six months before this film was released in April 1932. You know you're watching a Howard Hughes production when, during the first scene, a bar employee is sweeping up after a party held by one of Chicago's big gangsters and finds a bra among the confetti. The film shares some aspects with its gangster film predecessors - Tony Camonte is motivated by a desire for power just as Edward G. Robinson's Rico was in "Little Caesar", and also like Rico takes over the gang from a boss he perceives as weak. However, Camonte doesn't seem to have the pent-up rage of Public Enemy's Tom Powers. When Tony performs acts of violence it is usually related to gangland business. The actual deaths are strictly business, but the execution of the killings themselves are something Tony takes pride in - a sort of work of art on his part. Like Tom Powers, Tony Camonte is given a family background, but unlike Tom Powers, Camonte's family is a completely dysfunctional one. What is unique in this gangster picture is Tony's trio of love interests. He wants his boss' girl, Poppy, as a status symbol. He also seems to have a love affair going with the machine gun, acting like he has discovered America the first time he shoots one. Finally, Tony is in love with his own sister Cesca. Tony's only true fits of rage occur when he sees her with another man, and it is this loss of emotional control over this one issue that is ultimately his downfall. George Raft, an ex-gangster of sorts himself, is terrific as the smart and level-headed Guino Rinaldo, Tony's right-hand man. Finally there is Vince Barnett as Tony's extremely inadequate secretary in a bit of comic relief turned tragic at the end of the film. This film is truly a classic. I just wish Universal had put in a commentary track, for such a cinema landmark is certainly worthy of one. Highly recommended.

In the 1980's Castro emptied his prisons. In this movie Tony Montana comes to America. Very violent movie which depicts the cocaine wars in southern Florida.

This sprawling epic of bloodshed and excess, Brian De Palma's update of the classic 1932 crime drama by Howard Hawks, sparked controversy over its outrageous violence when released in 1983. Scarface is a wretched, fascinating car wreck of a movie, starring Al Pacino as a Cuban refugee who rises to the top of Miami's cocaine-driven underworld, only to fall hard into his own deadly trap of addiction and inevitable assassination. Scripted by Oliver Stone and running nearly three hours, it's the kind of film that can simultaneously disgust and amaze you (critic Pauline Kael wrote "this may be the only action picture that turns into an allegory of impotence"), with vivid supporting roles for Steven Bauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Robert Loggia. Universal's special edition digital video disc includes a documentary about the making of the film that features numerous interviews and several deleted scenes. --Jeff Shannon
Customer Reviews:
Overrated movie by an overrated director.......2007-09-09
Scarface is overlong, excessively vulgar and violent. I agree that this movie has been influential, but for all the wrong reasons. Many gangster rap groups, most notably the Geto Boys, used many soundbites from Scarface throughout their career to accentuate their bravado or "hardcore attitude toward life." It's a shame that De Palma convinced so many talented people to waste their time with this gutter trash. Howard Hawks' Scarface is still superior in every way.

yes i enjoyed very much the movie its a very cool movie.
i hope to buy some more stuff jaja XD thanks

Customer Reviews:
This is great!.......2007-08-20
This guy really knows basketball! After purchasing his Fundamentals of Scoring DVD, I came back to Amazon because I also wanted to purchase his other two DVDs. His DVD series are really helping me improve. Ball handling was one of my weakest skill areas, but now I feel 100% more comfortable and confident handling the ball. I endorse this product all the way. I can get helpful b-ball instruction from Coach Godwin that I can watch over and over again! The game of basketball will never change, and Coach Godwin will surely make you a timeless player!
Incredible Instruction.......2007-08-06
After reviewing AAB:The Fundamentals of Ball Handling, my game elevated to new heights. Not only am I the current North Carolina Dunk Champion, now I am able to better handle, penetrate, distribute and control the ball. This DVD is better than many other basketball instructional DVDs and camps with (so-called) professional ball handlers! AAB is the real deal. A "must own" for any and all real ballers!!!
