Certainly not a masterpiece

Rating: 7/10 (14 August 2000)

I agree the film is a bit overrated. The script is not very strong and realistic. I'm sure criminal world is not that simple as it's pictured in this movie. Pacino tends to overplay his role and at times it's just merely funny when he tries to be real serious. I don't think the film is too long put there could be more content to fill the time. Still even though it's not a classic Scarface is strong enough to give it at least a try.
