Dick Tracy is stylish and visually impressive even if shallow and one-dimmensional

Probably the most stylish and unique comic book films ever made, but not one of the most developed. The story is pretty simple. There is a guy, his name is Dick Tracy, he is a detective, and he wants to get rid of this other guy who is a gangster named Big Boy Caprice. That is pretty much it.

Nevertheless, there is a romantic element that appeals to girls (besides the usual love story there's also Tess' tortured soul over her love for Tracy and a desire for a "normal" life; and there's also the love triangle with Breathless Mahoney).The plot of the movie is fairly simple. … more
