Brian De Palma's blood-and-sun-drenched saga of a Cuban deportee's rise to the top of Miami's cocaine business has become something of a popular classic since its release; it's...
more...been referenced in rap songs and subsequent gangster movies and quoted the world over. Despite this lovefest with the dialogue, the film's brutal violence and lack of positive characters still make it controversial and disliked by certain critics. Al Pacino stars as Tony Montana, whose intelligence, guts, and ambition help him skyrocket from dishwasher to the top of a criminal empire but whose eventual paranoia and incestuous desire for his kid sister (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) prove his undoing. Michelle Pfeiffer plays Tony's neglected coke-addicted trophy wife, and Steven Bauer is his concerned friend. F. Murray Abraham, Robert Loggia, and Paul Shenar are some of Tony's sleazy business partners and potential killers. Oliver Stone wrote the expletive-packed screenplay, based on Howard Hawks's 1932 version--which was ostensibly about Al Capone and starred Paul Muni and George Raft. The synth-heavy Giorgio Moroder score expertly evokes the drug-fueled decadence of 1980s Miami, and De Palma provides several of his elaborate set pieces, including a horrific showstopper in a motel room with a chain saw.

Scarface is the best film i have ever seen. The script is fantastic as is the storyline. You follow the life of Tony Montana(Al Pacino) from Cuba who kills a politician for a green card to get into America. At the end of the film you see what he has become from these times as he progresse through the gangster rankings.
An interesting fact is that Blink 182 were named after the number of times the word fuck is said in the film. This fact may be interesting but is completely irrelevant.
Some of the quotes are awesome, quotes such as. " Where did you get that beauty scar tough guy, eating pussy?" and "You fuck with me? You fuck with Ton Montana, you fck with the best"
Seriously the best film i have ever seen and i have not got a bad word to say about it.
