I do not know with this one, I just do not know. Do I recommend it saying that you only walk into the movie expecting cheesiness? Or do I say don’t go and see it as only the people who like cheesiness will want to see it? I liked some aspects of it and I feel the director and star Warren Beatty (“Reds”) has created a very stylized world but I do have a lot of issues with it.

In “Dick Tracy”, we meet the police officer Dick Tracy (Beatty). Tracy is hitting hard on crime as the mob now lead by the vicious Big Boy Caprice (Al Pacino “Heat”, “Scarface”) are trying to take over the city and kill Tracy. Over the top and quite frankly ridiculous action are waiting.

Warren Beatty is sadly only just okay as Dick Tracy. The fact that the main character isn’t too impressive does hinder the picture a bit. Madonna (“A League of Their Own”) does a surprisingly good job as Breathless Mahoney. Al Pacino is awful as the main villain Big Boy Caprice. The real issue I have with this movie is the villains as although they’re meant to look silly and repulsive I just don’t think it works particularly well. The character named ‘Kid’ (Charlie Korsmo) is alright at best.

Although the action is decent, the bad guys are creative and the sets look good, it’s all so cheesy. Sure, it brings to life the character from the comic strips but that doesn’t mean it’s for everyone. I enjoyed quite a few bits of this picture but I was also really disappointed in some of aspects of it. For the reasons I’ve mentioned I’m not going to recommend this picture but anyone who wants to see a larger than life, stylized gangster movie then you’re in the right place.
