Review of Dick Tracy (1990) by Ro R — 25 Feb 2010
I thought Warren Beatty gave one of his best performance as detective Dick Tracy, Al Pacino is great as Big Boy, Dustin Hoffman is hilarious as Mumbles and Madonna HOT in her tight black satin dress. The story is very simple (Dick Tracy trying to stop a gang of hoodlums run by Big Boy Caprice from taking over the city) but the beautiful cinematography and incredible visual direction made this a nice little fun ride.
Dick Tracy won three Oscars for Best Art Direction, Best Make Up and Best Original Song entitled I always get my Man. It was nominated for four Oscars, Best Supporting Action (Al Pacino), best Cinematography, Best Costume Design and Best Sound.
This is a high tech funfest that pays tribute to old fashioned gangster films and comic books that might not be to everyone's liking but, if given a chance, I think most people will enjoy it.
