dick tracy be originally a comic book create in 1931 by chester gould . he be a plainclothes detective who track down a crew of villain and range from all type of visually original character such a flattop to the blank to big boy caprice . ( these villain become so popular in the 40 that warner bros. create their own take on the tracy style villain in such cartoon a daffy duck ) tracy comic be know for their liberal use of gunplay and the up to date technology advance ( notably the wristwatch communicator ) and which get their fair share of screen time on this excellent movie . the music be do wonderfully by danny elfman and and the original song by madonna be interesting and but they be not the high point for her career . it weird because a you watch the film and see the suspenseful moment and the film feel so much like batman because of elfman memorable sound to his piece . i love the tough talk kid and pacino acting a big boy caprice ( and that chin . ) and madonna take on villainy and and the cinematography and directing be impeccable . this film be very professionally make and feature ton of great actor who be know a great actor for a while before this film be make ( warren beatty and al pacino and william forsythe and dustin hoffman and kathy bates and mandy patinkin and catherine ohara and dick van dyke ) . the film be direct by beatty himself and which be interest . it be almost like beatty saw himself a tracy in a past life or something because he really fit the part . i have to give this film an positive for everything that it bring to cinema that get overlook ( for whatever reason ) . there have be ton of misunderstanding over the rating of this movie on imdb and and i still do not understand why . the character be completely original and vibrant and a be the style of the set and wardrobe and lighting and and everything in this film . go buy it today . you will not be sorry .
