This sprawling epic of bloodshed and excess, Brian De Palma's update of the classic 1932 crime drama by Howard Hawks, sparked controversy over its outrageous violence when released in 1983. Scarface is a wretched, fascinating car wreck of a movie, starring Al Pacino as a Cuban refugee who rises to the top of Miami's cocaine-driven underworld, only to fall hard into his own deadly trap of addiction and inevitable assassination. Scripted by Oliver Stone and running nearly three hours, it's the kind of film that can simultaneously disgust and amaze you (critic Pauline Kael wrote "this may be the only action picture that turns into an allegory of impotence"), with vivid supporting roles for Steven Bauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Robert Loggia. --Jeff Shannon

The movie deserves 5 stars. The delivery time deserves 5 stars because I ordered it on May 1st and it arrived on May 2nd. However what brings this rating down is that the casing arrived damaged and the cover was ripped on it's side. Nothing a new case and a little scotch tape couldn't fix but still damaged none the less.

Pacino's camp classic comes to blu-ray

SAY ELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!
What can I say but this is the second best film ever made. It's a serious shame to the Academy for not even nominating Al Pacino for an Oscar. Read more
