Review of Scarface (1983) by Movieguys — 20 May 2014
Scarface is, simply put, DePalma's masterpiece. It has heavy amounts of violence, swearing, drugs, blood, drinking, lavish lifestyle, you name it. But that is the point and central theme of the movie: excess.
It tries to turn Tony Montana, an evil, temperamental monster, into something human, and it succeeds. He is both the protagonist and antagonist of the movie, the tragic hero and the tragic villain. There are no drug wars here; Mr.
Montana is at war with himself.
