Not only is Pacino's acting in this monumental film stupendous... But the artful directing, the sublime acting of the supporting characters, the beautiful locations, and the director's ability to make you, by the end of this film, feel almost as if you actually are there, in this film, will continue to be a piece of cinematographic artwork for years to come...

i wish there was a scarface 2

One of my all time favourite movies

This film shows what a truly amazing actor Pacino is. His concentration on the depth of his character is touching. The movie takes you to a genre that movies in it's period were afraid to touch. This is quite possibly the best "gangsta flick" that has graced screens. The only role Pacino has played that has come close is Michael, in the Godfather trilogy. 9.5/10

Entertaining but did not really live up to the hype

For once, I agree with the public. This film is a potential contender for my all-time favourite, I'd just need to watch it again to be sure. I saw a re-release of this at the cinema and I left it more hyped than I'd ever been. I was physically shaking. The music fit it like a glove, Pacino really shined, and the ending, though fairly cheesy, was awesome.
Let me address the ending a bit though. A man in shades (Terminator-style although this predates Terminator) walks up behind Pacino and shoots him with his shotgun and he falls into the fountain below. The man made an appearance a few minutes earlier and, at that point, I knew he was going to be the guy to kill him. Foreshadowing through cheese. Nice.
Another thing I'd say is that I saw the direction of the plot coming a mile away. I knew from pretty early on that if they were going to build him up like this, they'd have to break him down. Still, none of that detracted from the experience.
I'd take this over The Godfather anyday.

cant really say much about this film as it would of been said a million times before but i loved it and ive seen it 100s of times and its still brilliant, i can see how if your not a fan of this genre you might not like this film but i put it up there with goodfellas an godfather.

A truly terrible movie, only made worse by Al Pacino's awful and incomprehensible performance.

Either the people who have highly rated or have given this piece of junk good comments have truely got nostalgia goggles on. Camp direction, awful acting, bad extras, terrible dancing.

I looked forward to seeing this based on the reviews and how it is regarded as a classic, but now I feel I have just seen the bold and the beautiful but with guns & chainsaws.

Lost my faith in RT critics and I can't believe that Brian De Palma didn't get the award for worst director.

great machismo and impact at times, but the horrible music interfered with the action over and over again (including destroying the impact of the ending), and the arrogant guy falling from grace, does that really always need to happen?!
