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. -

April 27, 2008I 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.
