Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
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.

Empire - Unnamed
Perfomances are excellent, and despite its moralistic conclusion, the film has since become de rigueur viewing for crack barons, who know a good shoot-em-up when they see one.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
A beautiful, at times poetic exercise in excess from Brian De Palma.
90
The New York Times - Vincent Canby
Scarface is the most stylish and provocative - and maybe the most vicious - serious film about the American underworld since Francis Ford Coppola's "Godfather."
80
Time - Richard Corliss
It is a serious, often hilarious peek under the rock where nightmares strut in $800 suits and Armageddon lies around the next twist of treason.
