      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Director Brian De Palma and star Al Pacino take it to the limit in this stylized, ultra-violent and eminently quotable gangster epic that walks a thin white line between moral drama and celebratory excess.

      Eleanor Ringel Cater Atlanta Journal-Constitution There's too much expertise, too much sheer love of movie-making up there on the screen for Scarface to be deemed a failure. But the director's failure to follow through makes this a too-long movie that comes up short. May 12, 2023 Full Review Duane Byrge Hollywood Reporter Other than an unflinching, intense and extraordinary performance from Al Pacino as the Cuban-born gangster Tony Montana, this gruesome offering has little to recommend. Dec 3, 2018 Full Review Kathleen Carroll New York Daily News Stone sticks all too closely to the dated plot structure of the original movie, and such melodramatic flourishes as Montana's incestuous attraction for his sister now seem completely ludicrous. Rated: 2/4 Dec 9, 2015 Full Review Steve Warren Bay Area Reporter Though almost as long, Scarface doesn't have the depth or complexity of either Godfather films. It is, however, a hard-hitting update of the old-style gangster movie. May 12, 2023 Full Review John Stark San Francisco Examiner What could have been a somber, depressing story has been kept buoyantly afloat by De Palma's wry, sarcastic look at grown men who wear expensive suits and shoot each other. Rated: 3/4 May 12, 2023 Full Review Tom Sabulis Tampa Bay Times Scarface clearly lacks the suspense, macabre style and the deranged wit of previous De Palma films such as Carrie and Dressed to Kill. It is too slow for an action movie and too bent on destruction to make it for serious moviegoers. Rated: 2/5 May 12, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
