Variety "...Pfeiffer, now as then, steals the show..."
USA Today "...[It's] fun to simply enjoy this amazing Al Pacino vehicle for the bloody, politically incorrect, relentlessly macho potboiler that it is..."
Entertainment Weekly "[A] brilliant, bloody Prohibition-era gangster movie..."
Premiere 5 stars out of 5 -- "It's undoubtedly the larger than life quality of the film which pleases many, but young turk Oliver Stone also delivers a potent screenplay..."
Ultimate DVD "...The most stylish and provocative -- and maybe the most vicious -- serious film about the American underworld since [THE GODFATHER]....Vivid and arresting."
New York Times "...Still perhaps De Palma's most genuinely convincing work..."
Sight and Sound "...An exciting crime picture....A gallery of wonderful supporting performances....SCARFACE is a wonderful portrait of a real louse..."
Chicago Sun-Times "...Pacino plays the odious Tony Montana with a dead-on mix of predatory steel and flawed flashiness..."
Total Film "...This Brian DePalma butcher block has found a thriving life of its own..."
