Warren Beatty's 'Dick Tracy' is high on star power and color, and low on plot and logic. Thankfully the former overwhelms the latter to the point that it doesn't matter. Much. Unlike the previous year's game changing 'Batman', 'Dick Tracy' embraces its comic roots and attempts to create the strip come to life, and it succeeds for the most part. In other ways it blatantly mimics Tim Burton's blockbuster, right down to its clock tower ending and Danny Elfman score.
In the end I was very surprised that I enjoyed this much more in 2015 as a 41 year old than in 1990 as a 16 year old. Oh, and Madonna. Breathless indeed.
