It's got a lot of his obvious visual trademarks and dolly set pieces and stuff (this sort of thing got him compared by one critic to an alcoholic who couldn't quit reaching for the bottle of his tricks halfway through every new film.) The part that Joe and I have discussed the most though is that Sean Penn, as the villain, gives possibly the single most embarrassingly bad performance in cinema history by an established actor (Joe swears by Scent Of A Woman, which I, uh, haven't seen.)
Penn made up for it somewhat with a far better performance in Carlito's Way, which is a better film than Scarface.
