Dick Tracy
"Two thumbs up! The picture is extraordinary!" -Siskel & Ebert
Legendary police detective Dick Tracy is the only man tough enough to take on gangster boss Big Boy Caprice and his band of menacing mobsters. Dedicated to his work but at the same time devoted to his loyal girlfriend, Tess Trueheart, Tracy find himself torn between love and duty. His relentless crusade against crime becomes even more difficult when he gets saddled with an engaging orphan and meets seductive and sultry Breathless Mahoney, a torch singer determined to get the best of Tracy. A faceless character, the Blank, threatens both Tracy and Big Boy, and it takes all of Tracy's skills to save the city.

A Real Life Comic Strip - super8
Dick Tracy is a fascinating glimpse into a living, breathing, comic strip. It combines a fantastic cast with excellent cinematography (won at the Academy Awards) and a decent story to make an enjoyable movie. Dick Tracy (Warren Beatty) is one of the best detectives on the force, and will stop at nothing to bring down Big Boy Caprice's (Al Pacino) mob empire. It is also the tale of how Tracy Jr. comes around and his ongoing romance with Tess Trueheart. Recommended.12 year old boys birthday party - kirstenluise
What to show to a group of 12 year old boys who have either (a) apparently seen all the recent big hyped movies that my son is sometimes not allowed to see or (b) mothers might be even more conservative than me in their movie choices for their kids? Dick Tracy fit the bill, not a fantastic movie, but very surreal/cartoony look, a superhero they didn't know about, lots of action, and a surprising twist ending!Colorful & Memorable - BryanDavid
I first watched Dick Tracy when it came out 17 years ago, and when I was watching it this time, I realized this is probably one of my all-time favorites. The characters are extremely unique in their own way, and the locales featured in the movie are extremely colorful. If you like a comic book style movie, and just want some fun action, similar to the old Batman & Robin show, give Dick Tracy a chance. It's a classic.
