Tagline: He loved the American
Dream. With a Vengeance.
Howard Hawks' 1931 Scarface ran a tight 99 minutes, making its "crime
does not pay" point with directness and efficiency. Brian DePalma's
1983 remake of Scarface ambles along at 170 minutes, making its "drugs
are bad for you" point over...and over...and over....Al Pacino stars
as Tony Montana, an exiled Cuban criminal who goes to work for Miami
drug lord Robert Loggia. Montana rises to the top of Florida's crime
chain, appropriating Loggia's coke-head mistress (Michelle Pfeiffer)
in the process. Howard Hawks' "X Marks the Spot" motif in depicting
the storyline's many murders is dispensed with in the 1983 Scarface;
instead, we are inundated with blood by the bucketful, especially
in the now-infamous buzz saw scene. One carry-over from the original
Scarface is Tony Montana's incestuous yearnings for his sister Gina
(Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio); but where Hawks only suggested, De
Palma spells out in capital letters. The film's best performance is
delivered by Michelle Pfeiffer, then emerging from the ranks of blonde
starlets into full fledged stardom. The screenplay for the 1983 Scarface
was written by Oliver Stone--and no, Al Pacino is not on the grassy
knoll during the Kennedy assassination.
