Scarface?
I don't think so.
Sure, he obviously was influenced by Hitchcock, but he sure isn't slavish. And I'd put Casualties of War up there ahead of a lot of better thought of war films, too. Carlito's Way and The Untouchables are great entertainment, as well.
All in all, the guy's established a singular style and made some fine films. Not necessarily intellectually ground-breaking, but what the hell. Sometimes you just want some fantastic escapism. He has done it about as well as anyone.
He's also been extremely influential.
