Review of Dick Tracy (1990) by Manu G — 28 Jul 2011

Their turf. Their game. Their rules. They didn't count on His law...

Very good crime/comedy film. The style was really what made me watch it and was very good, it felt like watching a comic book Very good acting by everyone and a very nice cast including Al Pacino, Warren Beatty, Dustin Hoffman, and Madonna. The story was crime style and it was enough good to deliver and entertain. It is very good and in some ways more memorable than much of what goes on in the film.

Based off of a comic book created by Chester Ghould. Dick Tracy is one of the toughest and the best police officer for the city. He is currently on the hunt for the biggest crime boss named Big Boy Caprice who recently killed off the former crime boss Lips Manless. Now Big Boy is rallying up all of the criminals in the city who are not only trying to make the city bow to Big Boy's wishes but to eliminate Tracy their only huge competition. However Tracy is facing with a whole lot of issues, as he is trying to not only track down Big Boy, but to keep his girlfriend Tess Trueheart, take care of a nameless orphan and dodge a seductive club dancer Breathless Mahoney and a mysterious gangster named "The Blank". Can Tracy overcome these obstacles and save the city?
