Scarface was a modest box office success, but most film critics absolutely hated it. New York Magazine notably called a “dismayingly empty and bullying, sadly overblown B-movie.” it wasn’t more well received in Hollywood either, as Dustin Hoffman was said to have fallen asleep during a screening, while writers Kurt Vonnegut and John Irving walked out of the film in disgust.
