June 28, 2008Wow, Just asked to review this---I gave as a gift to oldest Grandson long ago---He loved it as it is one of his favorites
May 9, 2008My review is based on the picture and sound quality, not the movie itself which I love. Scarface has been reviewed enough since its release and it is a great movie. That's why I am so dissapointed in this release of it twenty years later. If you own a 5.1 sound system like I do, you should wait for a blu-ray to come out cause this edition sounds really bad. The claim of DTS 5.1 is b.s. and even the Dolby Digital sounds bad. The picture quality is alot better and the music sounds alright. The extras are not anything great. Overall it's a mediocre release that is decent when played with a 2.0 system. It really deserves better considering how popular it is.

Yeah, right, I don't believe it. Almost everyone has seen this movie. If for some strange reason you haven't, well there are 700 some odd reviews to read here that I'm sure go into great detail about the plot, so read theirs. I'm just here to tell you that Pacino's performance is one of the best committed to cinema ever. This film could have easily been just another drug and gangsters movie had it not been Pacino in the lead roll. His portrayal of Tony Montana is electrifying. The supporting actors are fantastic in their own right, but Pacino is the reason to watch this remake.
I saw this movie opening day in New York city back in 1983 and the entire theater cheered during key moments in the film. It was quite an experience then, and it's still an experience now. The Platinum Edition is the way to go. I don't give five stars lightly, as to me five stars means perfect. I think many reviewers on Amazon give out five stars like they're giving candy to Halloween trick or treaters. It is very rare a film I would give a five star review, but if any film is worthy of that rating it's Scarface.
April 21, 2008I Love this collectors edition. Everything in it was brand new and untainted. Love it!
