Scarface (DVD 2004)

Scarface is in the top tier of gangster films, its depiction of ruthless violence and the underworld drug scene has influenced the genre powerfully and inspired many films and even video games (Grand Theft Auto: Vice City). The film charts the rise of Tony Montana (Al Pacino) from small time Cuban refugee hood to gold plated drug baron sitting crazed in his mansion with a mountain of cocaine on his desk. Directed by Brian De Palma, with a screenplay penned by Oliver Stone, a fantastic score from Giorgio Moroder and a great cast it shouldn't be any surprise that this film is uncompromising and highly exciting viewing.

Inspired by the 1932 classic of the same name this movie helped modernise the way the underworld has been depicted in film. Tony (Pacino) badly wants to be a big time gangster, in fact he is prepared to go a lot further than most to achieve his goal. His violent nature is established early on in one of the squalid immigration camps used to hold those trying to flee to the States. He sees America as the land of opportunity and he is determined to stamp his mark there but his vision of the American dream is a little more blood soaked than most.

He arrives in Miami with his friend Manny (Steven Bauer) and they set about looking for work. Tony is determined to make some real cash and it isn't long before they are working for gangsters. Despite his apparent success Tony is never satisfied, his mother is disgusted with his criminal ways but his naïve younger sister seems dazzled by the lifestyle and the money, not to mention the drugs. Tony soon decides to claim power for himself, and he wants to claim all the trappings, including his boss's trophy girlfriend, played by Michelle Pfeiffer. The action builds to an incredible ending, which simply cannot be forgotten.

The direction is fantastic; the film moves at a fast pace and really brings across the hyper charged character of Tony Montana. Pacino exudes power in the role, his charisma ensures your eyes follow him on the screen and despite being sickened by his actions it is difficult not to root for him. He does a stunning job of taking Montana from the quiet, hungry street hood all the way up to the raving paranoid coke-head he becomes, the picture of defiance and arrogance.

The script is excellent, the conversations and arguments are believable and nicely portrayed by the cast. The use of popular music ties the action into the social scene in which the film is set and definitely adds to the overall style. The violence in this film is extreme and the tension built in certain scenes, such as the chainsaw attack, is powerfully affecting.

The character 'Scarface' has become a stereotype in modern culture; the image of him with a gun in each hand spitting fury on scores of enemies is iconic. He is fascinating and repulsive at the same time. Ultimately driven by a warped desire to make something of himself, to become a 'big man' but when he gets there and the hunger is replaced with arrogance, the whole thing comes tumbling down around him.

This is a truly great film, which sits alongside the Godfather II and Goodfellas in the gangster genre. Much admired and copied it is a gripping and exhilarating tale, which should leave a lasting impression in your mind.

classic film. Watch it again and again. would recommend. A favourite among friends...Al pacino is great in this film, Say hello to my little friend!!! Egg egg egg egg egg egg egg egg egg egg egg egge egg egge egg. to wop a looo bop. vvlgafgfahdvhdbvfaiyfvglavblhfdvbfhlhvggva

this film is the business, if you don't have it get it!!!

100% happy with the quality, & mega quick delivery.

classic iconic film, billiant acting and action sequences. really good mental machine gunning and chainsaw stuff. lots of swearing. totally full on crocket and tubbs mentalist stuff, miami vice gone mental

Al Pacino would always be remembered for his portrayal of the ruthless Tony Montana in this classic remake. The story begins with a small time Cuban refugee and his companion entering the USA illegally. Once given the chance to obtain a greencard, the pair never look back. Dissatisfied with the jobs working in a mobile kitchen, a unique opportunity arises and from then the ambition and determination of Tony Montana knows no bounderies as he embarks on a campaign from small time to big time. On this journey his boss, and associates would discover that Tony Montana would allow nothing or noone to stop his rise to the top. When he achieves his goal (including his bosses woman)Tony Montana becomes arrogant and despite all his security would soon realise that the man behind his rise was not one to cross. The ending of this movie is probably one of the most famous conclusions of all time, incorporating the infamous 'say hello to my little friend'. There is no fairytale ending and all the main character's fates are determined in a violent bloodbath. A cocaine fuelled Tony Montana takes dozens of bullets before succumbing to a single shot in the back from the silent assassin. Scarface is truly a bloody gangster movie that despite being nearly 3 hours long would keep you engrossed. I rate this movie as Al Pacino's finest, his portrayal of Tony Montana surpasses that of his role in The Godfather trilogy, and hats off to the man played a blinder in Scarface. This movie is not for the fainthearted, and although the message it sends out is not a good one, it also shows the dangers that come with the fast lifestyle, classic.

watched it then had to buy it worth every penny watch it over and over again
its a brilliant film you get hooked on it brilliant acting just watch it and see.

theres no doubt in my mind that this is the best film ever. al pacino is the best actor of all time.

In my personal opinion it is one of my favourite films of all time! a real cult classic and some of Pacino's best work

brilliant got exactly what i wanted and came in less than a week. would buy from this seller again!!!

Great Al Pacino film. A have to be seen film if you're an Al fan. I don't agree with the fact that ebay says you have to write 100 characters to create a review. All a potential buyer wants to know if it's worth watching and this film deffinitely is worth seeing.

Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.

what is there to say but ebay is so easy to buy from, hassle free purchasing. you choice how much you spend. No govend prices - totaly fantastic. easy reviews - ebay one big happy family, you find exatly what you want as a buyer + make money on unwanted items. Simple

its a great piece of collection,so i really greatly to have it at this fair price..good deal it was and delivered in a short timescale.

at the moment i am out of the country there were a gift for my neice as she does irish dancing she was very happy with them thank you

I dont have to tell you about this movie. Thats all been done in prior reviews. Its a bloody good gangster movie with an awesome performance by Pacino.

I just want to tell all Germans to buy their dvd in England or some other place outside Germany, as there you will only get the 16-version. More than 10 minutes are cut and it reduces this Scarface to a mediocre mafia movie.
De Palma intended this to be R-rated/18 years or older. Dont settle for less.

i bought scarface basically as its a cult mafia movie that id never seen!scarface is a brillent blood and guts film and along with the godfather films is one of my favorite movies.Al Pacino is awesome and his acting is first class.i think everyone should own this film..its cult fullstop!!!!

One of the best films ever to star Al Pacino as Tony Montana a ganglord kingpin whos starts from the bottom by being shipped in from cuba and works his way to the top by killing and selling drugs until he shows his true strenghth and hunger for power as he takes out the local druglords one by one! a drug frenzied crime spree with many famous lines and quotes which will be remebered forever a great classic! buy this one for sure you wont be dissapointed!

This is my favourite film of all time ,al pacino defines what being someone who came from nothing to being a top end drug dealing baron/ gangsta was all about. The action and the famous lines like "say hello to my little friend" and " your a cockaroach " still live on till today. i cant really say i disliked anything about the film to be honest, it was brilliantly made had a wonderfull actor playing the lead role and it was so advanced for that time that people still rave about it today!! you should defintly buy or at least rent or borrow this film because once youve watched it youll want ot watch it again and again and again.................!

i liked the hole thing and i bought it because i new that it was good before i got it scarface is the lengend. and i enjoyed doin bissness with the seller too, so if there anything that u are sellin of scarface again let me no i'll proberly buy it off u.
