Hard to believe it could be better.  couldn't they remake Backdraft or some shit?

They did, but it went horribly wrong, and they cast Kevin James and Adam Sandler in it.

Well... shit. Got my hopes up with Coen brothers then drop a giant turd on it.

I don't get why they need to try and make this a reboot. Scarface is a classic as far as drug movies go, but there are so many of them now. They are just like leeches trying to suck success out of a classic name. Chances are it will be just another generic drug movie, but maybe better than average. What's next, a Die Hard reboot?

If the Coens are involved, I'm in.  From Blood Simple to Buster Scruggs, there is just something special about their work product and casting choices.  And besides, we're dyin' out here at tha leek.

And we all know how his drug dealing turned out in The Wire.

Yup. And unpopular opinion: al pacino’s scarface is wayyy fucking overrated. And it holds up horribly

I tend to agree but they practically show it on a loop on Starz and it’s still hard to lay off of. It’s hard to imagine doing enough cocaine to sit in a club watching Octavio the clown though

It's overrated by teenagers, guys who know how much they bench press, and wanna-be thugs.

The de Palma Scarface is a perfectly fine Saturday afternoon lose the remote while folding laundry movie,  but let’s not act like it Sunset Boulevard.  I’m fine with the Coen Brothers taking a crack at it.

Well, hopefully they will actually get Hispanic actors, instead of having Robert Loggia, F. Murray Abraham, Pacino, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Paul Shenar, etc. play Cubans...

I challenge you to find a better montage that perfectly encapsulates the 80s era of movies

this is just off the top of my head.  i'm sure there are others.

it's a cheeseball 80's gangster movie, it's not some all-time classic that belongs in conversations with the godfather and goodfellas.
