Scarface - Criterion Collection Blu-Ray

The gangster film sensation Scarface flew across the silver screen in a hail of bullets and helped set the standard for the genre for decades to come. Paul Muni gives an iconic portrayal of criminal sociopathy as Tony Camonte, the ruthless, machine-gun-toting gangster who rises through the ranks of a bootlegging empire with an ever-increasing body count, but whose possessive relationship with his wild sister (Ann Dvorak) threatens to be his undoing. Director Howard Hawks creates an unstoppable sense of dynamism through his mastery of editing and dialogue, and with his usual panache, he takes violence on the silver screen to new heights of brutality.
