Classic Film : Who's your preferred Scarface: Camonte or Montana?

Who's your preferred Scarface: Camonte or Montana?

Obviously, both 10/10 characters but wildly different from each other. I still have to go with Montana as my preferred Tony. There's a lot more complexity to this Tony, especially through his more subtler moments, which do exist, about how unhappy he truly is, even with his power. Camonte was an excellent character study of a complete sociopath who only shows his moral compass in the end but Granted, the difference between these incarnations have a lot to do with the time period these films were made, the direction they went, the writing, etc, but Montana's ultimately the more rounded character.

What a grip! That's from counting money.

...I like Al Capone...

Well, Camonte is so obvioiusly based on Al Capone I will take that as a vote for Camonte.
Camonte, no debate. Al Pacino's performance is so over the top as to be parody at times.

That's kinda defeatist, given Scarface '83 was designed to be as over-the-top as possible. You could say his performance wasn't your preference but it certainly wasn't a negative quality.
