Well done remake of a classic These days, I find it extremely rare to find a movie worth seeing. You have all these stupid teen movies, shallow deep movies starring has beens like Tom Cruise, and then there comes a movie like Chicago, a movie that deserved its awards. It really impressed me how they put it together. Now, on IMDb, I've heard complaints that there was no jazz music in the film. (I've been listening to jazz since I was small), I must admit, it isn't exactly "jazz", but keep in mind they had to have a visual component, which they chose vaudevil. The plot goes as follows. A lonely wife named Roxy desperately wants to be a club singer. In Chicago, her dream is muffled by others climbing to the top. She becomes so desperate, she chooses to believe a con-artist who claims to be her ticket to the top. When Roxy discovers his true intentions, (sex), she indulges in shooting his brains out, resulting her being sent to Cooks County for murder. There, she meets one of her idols, Jazz singer, Velma Kelly, who is doing time for killing her two timing husband and house breaking sis. They don't become friends, instead they become fierce rivals competing for their lawyer's attention. With good make up, good costumes, well done music, great acting and all that jazz, Chicago proves that in a sea of sand there is a diamond in the rough.
