  • Overview

    After getting a green card in exchange for assassinating a Cuban government official, Tony Montana stakes a claim on the drug trade in Miami. Viciously murdering anyone who stands in his way, Tony eventually becomes the biggest drug lord in the state, controlling nearly all the cocaine that comes through Miami. But increased pressure from the police, wars with Colombian drug cartels and his own drug-fueled paranoia serve to fuel the flames of his eventual downfall.

Roger Ebert

Most thrillers use interchangeable characters, and most gangster movies are more interested in action than personality, but 'Scarface' is one of those special movies, like 'The Godfather,' that is willing to take a flawed, evil man and allow him to be human.

Roger Ebert

Brian De Palma's "Scarface" rises or falls with Al Pacino's performance, which is aggressive, over the top, teeth-gnashing, arm-waving, cocaine-snorting, scenery chewing -- and brilliant.

Rotten Tomatoes

Scarface is a bloated and indulgent epic which leaves its audience enthralled, exhausted and ambivalent all at once.

Pacino's performance is always intensely watchable

The Hollywood Reporter

This gruesome offering has little to recommend other than an unflinching, intense and extraordinary performance from Al Pacino as Tony Montana.

IMDb

Scarface is surely one of the best crime movies ever made. Al Pacino's performance as a sharp-minded, angry, dangerous and powerful criminal is phenomenal.
