Warren Beatty's 1990 adaptation brings the iconic comic strip sleuth to vivid life as he navigates competing threats: the seductive machinations of Breathless Mahoney and the consolidated criminal empire of Big Boy Caprice. This film showcases a stellar ensemble cast including Beatty himself, Madonna, and Al Pacino, each delivering memorable performances that elevate the source material. A distinctive entry in detective cinema that balances noir sensibilities with contemporary flair.
