When many pseudo-movie fans praise Pacino, they always talk about this film. They say what Pacino’s super classics are. They don’t know that this film is a disaster for him. The scenes are blindly violent and bloody, the plot is naive and ridiculous, the box office is fiasco, and evil. With a wave of criticism, together with another epic masterpiece that he released later, which was completely unsuccessful-"Revolution", Pacino has since encountered a ten-year trough, and was even forced to withdraw from the film industry for five or six years. , Almost forgotten by people. It wasn't until the 1990s that he made a strong comeback through several dazzling masterpieces such as "Scent of a Woman" and "Dawn of the Love Owl". It can be said that the rubbish gangster film "Scarface" is one of Pacino's biggest failures in his life.
