We all love Al Pacino, don't get me wrong. But Brian De Palma movies are usually overdone bloody massacres, which is fine if you like that. But he isn't an actor's director.
Like you I defended Scarface to the teeth until one friend said "Watch it again". I took him up on his challenge, and felt he was right.
I wonder how many of the staunch defenders of Al Pacino's acting in the film as powerfully moving and challenging have actually seen it in the last couple years.
