Classic film IMO

Rating: Null/10 (26 October 2004)

Upon purchasing the Scarface gift set - I am taking it upon myself to jot down only a quick review - reason being is that what can I say about this awesome film which hasn't been said before? I think Al Pacino should have got an Oscar for this film (Thinking about what he DID get one for makes me shudder) Brian DePalmer is definitely one of my favrioute directors and this film rates IMO as his second best (Just behind the Untouchables) I also feel that the Scarface script is Oliver Stones best work - I love the way he subed the 1930's gold with the 1980's "Gold" of cocaine - with just a hint of a political statement (see the bath tub scene ; ))
All in all - If you haven't seen this film you are missing out BIG TIME! It is a rarity that a remake bests the original!
