Review of Scarface

Scarface (1983)
6/10
Iconic
16 September 2023
In all my 28 years, I haven't fully seen Scarface. Maybe that sounds weirder to me, I don't know. But I must ask, were we all gaslit into thinking that this was a classic American movie? It really isn't. It's quite bad actually. It's hilarious from start to finish, and I know that wasn't the intention. Alright, I know I'm not breaking any new ground here. Ultimately, who cares if it's good or bad? I don't. Scarface is so much wild fun. It's so iconic in how over the top it is. It's quotable from scene to scene. There isn't a boring second of it. It's a garish time capsule of the coked-up 80s. There's no wonder why this movie is as legendary as is it and why it's a cultural phenomenon to this very day. I think it just might be everyone's guilty pleasure.
