    The film has a visual style that comes off the screen like gangbusters. Al Pacino is brilliantly funny as Big Boy Caprice.

    Now this movie looks good, it really looks like a comic and its old too. The effects and make up really do the original comic justice, the actors are well cast and look faithful to the material and its a good well made fun movie. Madonna even fits in :)

    Pretty shitty. Shame, considering they had Pacino and Hoffman...who ended up just making asses of themselves.

    Nice job of using Danny Elfman to rip off the Batman score....yeaaaaaaaahhh NO.

    The story is so so, but the world Beatty and Stararo bring to life is breathtaking. The noir-esque lighting and primary color palate makes each scene unique.

    Great cast too, although some struggle to act through their make up more than others.

    Good flick. I liked the coloring and the feel of the environment in the movie. My only complaint is that you're not connected to all the characters, a thing that wouldn't be problem if you were a fan of the comic. Overall an entertaining movie, not bad, but not great either.

    The scene where the police execute all the gangsters is chilling.

    Good movie. With a great cast and nice production, Dick Tracy is a solid movie. But it's a little dull.

    Terrible cast, looks rubbish and thankfully i can hardly recall a scene from the movie.
  • September 10, 2009
    This is a solid action adventure film based off the classic Dick Tracy radio show and comics. Warren Beatty was the perfect casting choice as Dick Tracy. The film stays very true to the original look and dialouge to the comics. Sort of campy at times with odd characters. But it s...( read more)eems to work for this film. Worth a watch for those fans of the comics or want to see a different type of gangster film.

    I loved the novel (Max Allen Collins is a great writer) But I don't want to see this movie, I usually try to give movies a chance but I've seen parts of it and I'd hate to sit through more.
    Read the novel version though, It's brilliant, a real page turner.
