"Scarface is a grandiose modern morality play, excessive, broad and operatic at times."
—
Variety
Variety"It is a serious, often hilarious peek under the rock where nightmares strut in $800 suits and Armageddon lies around the next twist of treason."
—
Time Magazine
Time Magazine"Scarface is the most stylish and provocative - and maybe the most vicious - serious film about the American underworld since Francis Ford Coppola's "Godfather.""
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"Scarface is one of those special movies, like "The Godfather," that is willing to take a flawed, evil man and allow him to be human."
—
Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"Perfomances are excellent, and despite its moralistic conclusion, the film has since become de rigueur viewing for crack barons, who know a good shoot-em-up when they see one."
