Review of Chicago (2002) by Rebecca Z — 18 Oct 2010

Sexy. Seductive. Irresistible. Chicago is the best musical I've seen so far. It's full of burning passions flawlessly delivered by the magnificent cast. The screenplay was not something really sensible but it was very interesting and entertaining which, of course, was brought to life by Marshall's superb direction.

Every song number was excellently made and each complemented the scenes quite well. All songs were great but Mr. Cellophane won my heart. The acting was undoubtedly effective. Catherine Zeta-Jones was so impressive and she's surely worthy for her Oscar.

Renee Zellweger did pretty well, too. My favorite character for this would be Billy Flynn as portrayed by the exceptional and charming Richard Gere who was able to razzle dazzle his audience, including me.

But of course, Reilly's out-of-the-ordinary performance projected the most admirable character for this movie who's no other than the ever-loyal Amos together with his unconditional yet stupid love for Roxie.

This film is something to be treasured for a lifetime. I'm very happy to see such marvel. As I finished it, I saw myself quite pleased and smiling yet wanting for more.
