	SCARFACE (1983)
		After two difficult years in the making, SCARFACE appeared in late 1983, marking De Palma's entry into territory he hadn't previously explored -- the American gangster film.
		It was also a first for him in another sense; here he was part of a collaborative team on a picture designed to showcase its star, in this case Al Pacino.
		Finally, SCARFACE also built a fervent and devoted following among viewers who, perhaps seeing themselves as disenfranchised in much the way Tony is when the story begins (and admiring his blunt humor and honesty as a character), embraced him as nothing less than a hero.

		Scarface was directed by Brian De Palma, and written by famed director Oliver Stone while he battled a cocaine addiction.
		For the remainder of the 1980s, Scarface held the record for the movie containing the most uses of the word "fuck." (A popular Internet rumor states that the group Blink 182 got their name from a mis-count of how many times Tony says "fuck" in the film.) It lost this title in 1990 to Goodfellas.

	Scarface review (1983) Pacino - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		Brian De Palma's (Dressed to Kill, Phantom of the Paradise) updating of Scarface is one of those films that runs the gamut from "all-time favorite" to "worst film I've ever seen" among critics and non-critics alike.
		Scarface is most memorable for the incredible performance by Pacino, and as a whole, it's a well-crafted, if somewhat overlong, morality tale.
		Yet, Scarface is a three hour film, and as such, does tend to have its share of lulls, resulting in scenes that are unnecessarily long, and for a film this grisly, some of the events that transpire seem too unbelievable to be taken seriously.

	Scarface Review (1983) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Scarface was greeted with almost universally bad reviews on its release in 1983 — perhaps Al Pacino’s return to the gangster genre after The Godfather a decade earlier led critics to expect a serious sombre thriller, or maybe Brian De Palma’s wholesale trashing of Howard Hawks’ 1932 classic was an affront to their professional sensibilities.
		Scarface is long and sprawling, but Oliver Stone’s screenplay provides little opportunity for subtlety or deep insight.
		He's not aversed to directing blockbusters such as Scarface, The Untouchables and Mission Impossible, but Bonfire of the Vanities was a famous flop.

	Scarface Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Scarface shows Brian De Palma at his most collaborative: Wonderfully excessive, stylized, vulgar, and often quite beautiful, the film is marked for its '80s cocaine look (the set and costume design are amazing), but also for its famous script by Stone and fine performance by Pacino.
		The documentary, with chapters entitled "Scarface: The Rebirth," "Scarface: Acting," and "Scarface: Creating," is updated from the original documentary (actor Steven Bauer is added), but not much new is gleaned from the still interesting insight by the film's creators.
		The featurette "Scarface: The Television Version" is a funny bit comparing the edited TV version of the film with the original.

		Scarface draws to a close, Camonte is shot dead—a fantastical interpretation of what Hawks hopes to see, the demise of the Mafioso operation—but not until he’s instigated a bloody massacre that takes countless lives, including that of his sister Cesca (Ann Dvorak), a beautiful 19-year-old who rebelled against her overprotective, thuggish brother.
		Scarface, however, there are several: the St. Valentine's Day massacre—where Camonte’s boys line up a slew of men and mow them down with machine gun fire; it's a chilling shot of their shadows crumpling to the ground—is particularly memorable, and exceedingly violent for its time.
		Scarface (1983) glorifies and enhances everything about the original—the violence is frequent, furious, and vicious: chainsaws, pools of blood, severed limbs, non-stop cursing….

		Scarface is now widely regarded as one of the undisputed leaders in the gangster genre, and for good reason.
		It turns out that Scarface had a huge impact on the hip hop culture, with everyone from musicians to actors to homeboys looking on the film as at heart more of a ghetto tale than just a drug tale or gangster story.

	Movie Review for Scarface (1983) - 2004-04-16
		The remake of Scarface is a sprawling crime saga that follows the betrayal and loss that a single man endures; it is a coked-up version of The Godfather and The Godfather Part II without a family to feel sympathy for.
		Scarface is told in three acts that detail Montana’s ascension into paradise, his stay in the heavens (mostly Miami), and his eventual descent from grace.
		Pacino, though, is the one whose excess brings Scarface to a different level of praise as an instant cult classic.
