I have not watched the original "Scarface", but the remake exceeded all my expectations. The main plus is 100% getting into the role of Al Pacino, who, despite the fact that he got the role of a real scoundrel, causes many viewers to watch positive emotions (I want to justify many of his unpleasant actions). Al Pacino has repeatedly proved that negative characters can be no less charming than positive ones (remember, for example, "The Godfather" and "Devil's Advocate"). This is a real gangster saga that will appeal to a much wider audience than The Godfather or Once Upon a Time in America (although, of course, The Face with a Scar doesn't reach them a bit, the plot structure is too simple).

3 hours pass unnoticed, other actors play brightly (Michelle Pfeiffer and F. Murray Abraham are especially good), the action is great, and the dialogs are great. The predictability of the plot is offset by a chic ending (one of the most famous scenes in the history of cinema). The bloody and realism of some scenes can shock many, but this is how it should be in a real gangster movie. Cinema can even be called historical, because it tells several important points in US history, as well as the atmosphere and style of the 80s. You can also praise the soundtrack for the excellent musical theme of the film, which is diluted with great hits of the 80s.
