Bloated gangster saga

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2000)

I have nothing against long films, on the contrary, I like them often. But this one seems to go on forever and its length is not justified.
Like most DePalma's films, Scarface leaves you feeling guilty and dirty, largely because the film seems so sensationalistic in its approach to the subject. The cast (over-)acts with gusto, though, and in a way, the self-indulgence of the film is one of the reasons that make it interesting and watchable, even multiple times.
The music score is absolutely hideous and horrific!
4/10
