SCARFACE
August 14, 2013  | By David Bianculli

AMC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
Mob Week continues on AMC with another go-round for this 1983 Brian De Palma remake of the film noir classic. By now, Al Pacino's performance in this 30-year-old gangster movie is as iconic as anything in the original. Say hello to Steven Bauer, now on Showtime's Ray Donovan, and to Michelle Pfeiffer - and then, say hello to Pacino's leetle friend. Oh, and by the way, the reason Walter White is packing (in his trunk, in the flashforwards) an even bigger gun than Pacino has here? It's Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan's way of honoring his original description of Walter, as a guy who goes “from Mr. Chips to Scarface.”
