100% Classic FULL SKULL BABY!

"Scarface" is without a doubt one of the best movies of the past 25 years for many reasons. As seen in this special edition DVD, it pushed the envelope to the point of tearing it wide open. "Scarface" doesn't just succeed because of shock value, though; It's actually a very enthralling story because of the plot and because of the character created by screenwriter Oliver Stone and brought to life by Al Pacino in one of the most memorable performances ever in a movie. Its supporting characters and also the fact that it was based loosely on actual events further the film and serve to make it more real and gripping. The violence, drug abuse, profanity, and glitzy Miami setting all complete the film by showing the insane world that Tony Montana has created for himself.

The plot basically shows the rise and fall of Tony Montana from coming to America on a "Banana Boat" to eventually getting gunned down in his mansion. Along the way, he lives the American dream by buying nice material possesions and getting a trophy wife who is more trouble than she's worth. Despite the serious subject matter of the film, there is plenty of levity in Pacino's performance and in his now famous one liners. "Scarface" proves to be a captivating and shocking journey through one man's vision of the American dream.

Freakin' Laugh Riot FULL SKULL BABY!
This film is great for all the wrong reasons! The profanity, the drugs, the violence...INCREDIBLE! Pacino is a hoot with the thick accent and who can forget the tiger at the wedding! There are more lines in this film than in a stack of Mead notebooks. Michelle Pfeiffer is fab as a coke snorting dingbat.

Great Movie. FULL SKULL BABY!
I have not read the book or seen the older movie. But this Scarface film is the most popular. Great movie. It's about how Tony Mantana, ScarFace becomes from a poor politicul pirsoner,to a rich popwerful Mofia boss, to his death. I really like how it's about the rise and fall of a man. Great film.
