Have you seen ALL THREE? I love them, and still think they're overhyped.

Scarface.... I posted my thoughts a while back, and have pasted them here....

My review on Scarface:

I am disappointed. Scarface is probably the most overrated film I've seen in a long time. Besides from Pacino's performance (which is not all that great anyway), it holds no entertainment value whatsoever, for me anyway; it is overlong, and I was bored withint half an hour of it starting. You don't have to think about the plot, it has no depth, and the action sequences when they come are very far-fetched. The support cast was...well, where is it?!

Before watching this film tonight my favourite De Palma film was Mission: Impossible. After seeing Scarface, it is still M:I. It is a gruesome flick that is perfect to watch when you have been belittled.

I would be happy to try it again as it probably is a movie that grows on you, but by Pacino's standards, the acting is poor at least for him (IMO) and the directing: well, De Palma exaggerates everything, so he should stick to films like Mission: Impossible, where realism isn't required.

Capo's rating: 6/10, or * out of ****.
