That flick is well-acted around (yes, including by Chris O'Donnell) and well- written in a script that is chock full of memorable moments and quotable lines. And Pacino is the one who makes the whole thing turn. Frank is a large character too, and merits the shouting. He's a lieutenant colonel, it's in his blood.
The one thing I will say is the film is too long. But Martin Brest stopped caring about editing somewhere around that time in his career (see: Meet Joe Black, Gigli).
And as far as Scarface? You could give him that one too. It is a hell of a performance.
