Scarface

Worth a watch but vastly overrated, saw it once decades ago and never felt the need to watch it again.

Noisy film.
Just Pacino shouting a lot.6/10.

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Hoo-Ha!

 

[Blue Til Death]

I enjoyed the film but Pacino’s accent is way over the top and it seems like he’s trying too hard in this one... That said he’s one of my favourite actors ..

Great film, you’re all weird:-)

I love Brian De Palma movies for all his masterful set pieces.

The notorious shower/chainsaw scene in Scarface.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

An absolute Classic

I know im very late regarding this film,i have seen different bits over the last few decades every now and then,but never got the hype about it.
However,just watched it all the way through,......what a fucking masterpiece.

watch the original version as well. I enjoyed it.

Already offered this on previous threads, but I think it's overrated and really uneven -- some of the acting is over the top, especially Pacino but also Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Michelle Pfieffer, and the script isn't an especially good one. I like Steven Bauer, Robert Loggia and F. Murray Abraham in their roles though, and especially Paul Shenar, who I think is the best actor in the film (he plays Sosa). Granted it hasn't aged especially well, and excess is one of its points, but I just find it too excessive -- too much Drama (with a capital D), too much violence, too much of everything which kind of stretches belief. I still watch it when it comes on sometimes since some of the lines are so classic but I've never really cottoned to Pacino much as an actor for whatever reason. I can see how some people love it, but for fall-from-grace-mobster films I much prefer Goodfellas.

Slightly off topic, but relating to your Goodfellas comment. Read a great article re the Copa scene the other day. Fantastic cinema that
