Scarface (1983)
BY KimKSexTape wannabe
I rewatched this movie recently on Netflix, and I have to say, I forgot how much I love this movie. Al Pacino's character, even with the bad Cuban accent is hilarious. His good-looking partner in crime also had some amazing scenes (picking up American girls...)! What a great film, fantastic re-watchability.

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. Full Review
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. Full Review
Scarface is the most stylish and provocative - and maybe the most vicious - serious film about the American underworld since Francis Ford Coppola's "Godfather." Full Review
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. Full Review
Scarface is a grandiose modern morality play, excessive, broad and operatic at times. Full Review
