Classic and superb! Hard and hilarious

Brian De Palma always knows how to get the most out of everything, but this film easily has 30 minutes too many. If he wasn’t going to properly close his characters’ arcs, that runtime felt unnecessary. The performances are strong overall, except for Michelle Pfeiffer (even though I adore her), who isn’t at her best here.

Brian De Palma’s Scarface is not just a film—it’s an experience. A blood-soaked, cocaine-dusted, neon-lit descent into the heart of the American Dream turned nightmare. With a powerhouse performance by Al Pacino as Tony Montana, the Cuban refugee turned ruthless kingpin, this 1983 crime epic remains a brutal, stylish, and haunting mirror to ambition unchained. Pacino doesn’t play Tony—he becomes him. Every line delivered with volcanic intensity, every scene dripping with unchecked hunger. His journey from dishwasher to drug lord is Shakespearean in scope, tragic in consequence. But beneath the bombast and violence lies something deeper: a story about the cost of power, the isolation of success, and the myth of invincibility. Oliver Stone’s script crackles with iconic lines and nihilistic poetry, while De Palma’s direction is a masterclass in tension, decadence, and visual storytelling. Giorgio Moroder’s synth score pulses with menace and grandeur, elevating scenes into moments of operatic excess. Scarface may have shocked critics upon release, but time has solidified its place as one of the greatest gangster films ever made. It’s not subtle, and it’s not meant to be. It’s explosive, unapologetic, and unforgettable. Say hello to one of cinema’s boldest achievements.

Violento, estiloso e trágico. É uma montanha-russa de excessos, ambição e queda. Al Pacino entrega uma atuação inesquecível como Tony Montana, um personagem tão carismático quanto autodestrutivo. Um clássico que continua impactante.

Esta buena y deja una reflexión

I love al pacinos acting in this flim I give this a rotten tomato

Joder, esto si es cine.

The film does portray a rollercoaster of a ride of the 80s cocaine field Miami scene. The acting is great for Al Pacino himself and others in the cast yet it just doesn’t hit the spot for a wham bam crime film. I would prefer. Definitely the original Scarface than this.

This movie is actually pretty bad. Money for movies was scarce in 1983 and it shows in Scarface. Lacked innovation or imagination, it was poorly done, tactless, cheap. If you want to see an Brian DePalma movie you should see Snake Eyes, its much better.

Tony Montana, a drug lord who rose to power through brutal means and cunning manipulation, faces his downfall when his excessive drug consumption and paranoia jeopardize the very foundation of his empire.

De Palmer's classic and best work IMO. Pacino's performance was excellent. Fun bit - Spielberg helped direct parts the final shootout scene.

Campy every which way from Sunday, this dated gangster flick starring Al Pacino and Michelle Pfifer (and directed by Brian De Palma) is an all-time cult classic and must-see!

Watching this movie, I could not help but think of what was most disturbing: the gratuitous violence, or the objectification of Michelle Pfeiffer. Ok, it was Pacino's gross portrayal of a Cuban. Complete with over-done accent. Were there no Cuban actors available?! Or, at least, a Latino actor?!

Scarface (1983), directed by Brian De Palma and starring Al Pacino as the infamous Tony Montana, is a gritty, intense crime drama that explores the rise and fall of a Cuban immigrant who climbs the ranks of the Miami drug world with ruthless ambition. Pacino's electrifying performance and the film's unforgettable quotes, like “Say hello to my little friend,” have made Scarface a cult classic. Beyond the violence, the movie explores deep themes of power, corruption, and the American Dream. It remains a timeless film that continues to influence pop culture.

The movie has everyting

Una de las películas más inconicas del cine con un al pacino que la rompe, con una Miami de inicio de los ochentas, nos entrega una trama muy buena, de un cubano que empieza desde cero en esta ciudad para convertirse uno de los mayores capos de la ciudad y vemos a Toni montana, su ascenso y por supuesto su decadencia, con una crítica del poder y el dinero, de como aleja algunos valores y como te lleva a la soledad y como muestra un sueño americano corrompido por esta obra, una película con buenas escenas de acción y con un soundtrack, un soundtrack que simplemente es de los mejores de la historia del cine, teniendo un tono sombrío y sobre todo muy ochentero, todas las actuaciones están bien pero está maravilla no es perfecta ya que nada es perfecto, su mayor debilidad es que la película tiene un ritmo a veces lento y a veces muy rápido, la película creo que se alarga más de lo necesario y cuando vemos a el ascenso de montana es muy breve, con solo unas cuantas escenas ya nos muestran con su mansión y todo y es como que se apresuraron mucho en ese acto y como que hay algo más de que no nos contaron, y es que en la película la primera mitad hablamos de sus inicios y como asciende de a poco y la siguiente mitad los vemos ya en su decadencia, nunca nos muestran a Toni en su completamente prime, aún si a pesar de su ritmo imperfecto, el final de esta película es de las mejores cosas del cine, con ese plano y la música con el cadáver de Toni en el agua con arriba diciendo "el mundo es tuyo" dios es por eso que vemos el cine, un plano que inmortaliza esta obra.

Al Pacino and the rest of the cast were absolutely phenomenal in this movie! Great movie from start to finish! THE WORLD IS YOURS!

This film has been my life, it has been a film that has accompanied me in my best and worst times. It's so good that I have never been able to stop watching it. Please if you have free time, watch it you won't regret it
