(out of 5) "Chester Gould's comic strip detective (Warren Beatty) takes on a bevy of baddies while fending off the affections of the sultry Breathless (Madonna) in this stylish, old-fashioned piece of screen entertainment. Al Pacino has a field day as the main heavy, Big Boy Caprice, while other big-name stars and character actors do cameo bits."--Video Movie Guide Rated PG 120m DIR: Warren Beatty. CAST: Warren Beatty, Madonna, Glenne Headly, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, James Caan, Mandy Patinkin, Paul Sorvino, Charles Durning, Dick Van Dyke, R. G. Armstrong, William Forsythe. 1990 "The songs by Stephen Sondheim are good, if not great, and Mandy Patinkin demonstrates to the uninitiated just how fabulous his vocal chords are. " --Chris Hicks, Deseret News "All of the smaller parts were done well too. 88 Keys (Mandy Patinkin), Flattop, Mumbles (Dustin Hoffman), and the rest of the disfigured criminal elements were right on the mark. My impression was that everybody was having a lot of fun with the part, and played them to the hilt. " --imdb.com review
