To this day, I still don't get the praises for this abortion of a movie.

Rating: 2/10 (3 March 2002)

It is fair to say that I despise "Scarface" with a passion. What is even more interesting is that I did pay money to see the film when it was first in movie theaters.
I found it to be a very hammy exercise in excess. Al Pacino was not only chewing (cursing, shooting, murdering, etc...) the scenery but it seemed like all of the actors were on the same terrible plane. There was no such thing as perspective in this movie which makes me appreciate other films within the genre like "The Godfather" movies, "GoodFellas" and in, arguably, Pacino's best performance, "Donnie Brasco".
I don't think director Brian DePalma knew when to put on the brakes in some scenes and it made "Scarface" all the more worse while watching it.
Sometimes some movies should not have been given the green light and I believe "Scarface" is one of them.
