** Dick Tracy A review By Stan Heck




Dick Tracy Warren Beatty stars and directed in this 1990 film. Now It has been over 15 years since I saw this. When the movie was released theatrically . I went and saw it then. I remember liking the movie more then "BATMAN". Seeing it now all these years later its like seeing it for the first time.





Now I like parts of this movie. Only parts. I think the movie was a little too much . Its well made but its not very entertaining. When this movie was released it was the first movie that Warren Beatty made since "ISHTAR". All though Warren did not direct "ISHTAR" he still needed to be in a huge hit. He was hoping "Dick Tracy" would make him a huge star to a new generation. He even cast Madonna. He was hoping her young fans would turn out for this movie.





Dick Tracy is very pretty to look at. However the plot is almost invisible. The acting by Warren is at best stilted. Madonna can't save the day. There is also to many songs that Madonna sings that slow the movie down.





There is also lots A LIST cameos however they can not save the picture.
