Stream it now Scarface 1983

 

in the words of mc hammer "CANT TOUCH THIS" this just rules all gangster flicks

Scarface is both Al Pacino's & Brian De Palma's best work.

Every time i watch it i just fall more in love with it. It's probably the best movie that fully captures all the intensity of the Miami drug trade.

Tony Montana is one of the best villian's ever-put on film, but he becomes a form of Anti-Hero as well, we see he has his limit's like the overprotectiveness of his sister and how he won't blow up a car with both woman and kids inside.

The Finale is just Insane !!! many lists around the web say that Scar-face has the best shoot-out scene ever, all i can say is that it's a hell of a way to go..

Final Verdict: just unbelievably good, Disco scenes, Torture scenes & Shoot-out Scenes... Very Intense Stuff.

One of the most famous good movies. Although it's not perfect, it is a great great film. I like the way they show how Toni Montana starts changing and becoming something more than just a gangster.

Great movie if you don't mind putting your kids to bed early

Excellent film...one of Pacino's finest roles.

Scarface is basically the tormented brother of the Godfather. The Godfather was brutal don't get me wrong but this one goes way further.

What can I say about Al Pacino except the fact that he literally became Tony Montana. As over the top Tony Montana might be, it is in my opinion Al Pacino's best performance. I haven't seen all of his movies but up to now his performance in Scarface is the one that impressed me the most. You aren't supposed to like Tony Montana, but because of his unique/strange charisma you like him. Al Pacino worked on everything. The body language, his accent etc. That's why Al Pacino made the movie, without him Scarface would be nothing, and except Robert DeNiro I don't know who could've played Tony Montana. The rest of the cast (Michelle Pfeiffer, Steven Bauer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio etc.) is good.

The story is a classic tale of someone starting from the bottom and ending at the top. Once you get to know Tony Montana, you know exactly how he's going to react to this and that, so there isn't a shock or a plot twist. The soundtrack is very 80s style, some people might like other not.

Scarface is a must-see.

Scarface is probaly the most known gun shooter-actor there is . This movie was worst than I expected. Very slow and boring the last ten minutes i liked, thats it. OK MOVIE!
Im not reccomending to see it.

My favorite movie!!! This is a classic. Nothing more to say. SEE IT!!!

"Scarface" has a major cult following even now, 22 years after its release.

It has also been widely criticized as being very tacky, unrefined, over-the-top and all bloated up! These are people who compare Scarface to The Godfather movies. It is true that on the technical front, (cinematography, screenplay, direction, etc.) Scarface is way behind 'The Godfather'.

But it is also true, that what Scarface has and some other gangster movies lack, is the rawness, the sheer crude approach of the gangsters. The Latino gangsters in this movie look much more menacing and real than any of the polished Italian or Irish gangsters from other gangster classics like 'The Godfather' or 'Goodfellas'. This is one of the major winning points of Scarface and I strongly believe that this fact has been written off as "tackiness" by most critics! I have seen the original 1932 Scarface, and I must say that both these movies are way too different from each other and should be seen as two different movies instead of praising the original over the "remake"!

Al Pacino has been criticized to be over-the-top and loud in this movie. But how about considering that that is precisely the way the film-makers wanted Tony Montana's character to be! He is this angry young man who takes hasty decisions and throws fits of tantrum every other minute! He is not the calm Michael Corleone here. He is Tony Montana, a very tacky, uneducated individual who doesn't really think much and gets angry all the time!

There is definitely a very 80s feel to this movie. The soundtrack is all 80s! I love some of the songs, including 'Gina and Elvira's theme', 'Push it to the limit' and the title track instrumental.

There are some memorable and beautifully shot sequences, including the famous chainsaw scene, the Rebenga hit, the first meeting with Sosa and Tony's visit to his mother's.

About the performances: Al Pacino is brilliant as the angry Cuban refugee. He has reportedly mentioned that he enjoyed playing Tony Montana the most in his entire career. And it really does seem like he has enjoyed himself thoroughly in all his scenes! One wonders what "Scarface" would be like without Pacino. I just couldn't imagine anyone else portraying Tony Montana and in all probabilities, the film wouldn't be as effective without him!

Steven Bauer shines as Tony's friend Manny.

Robert Loggia is wonderful as Tony's boss, Lopez. So is F. Murray Abraham (as Omar) in a small role.

Then there is some eye-candy in the form of Elvira played by Michelle Pfeiffer. She looks beautiful and is adequate in her role.

The director does go a bit overboard during a particular part in the climax. Without revealing anything, I would only say that that was the only little part that suffers due to improper handling.

"Scarface" is definitely one of the most entertaining and one of the best gangster movies to ever come out. Enjoy it for what it is: a raw portrayal of the Drug Lords and their gangland!

One of my favorite movies, the acting, the directing, the script, dialogs, action...It's all there and it's incredible, say hello to my little friend! 11/10
