Description

Inspired by the most notorious unsolved murder in California history. From the acclaimed director of Scarface and the author of L.A. Confidential comes the spellbinding thriller The Black Dahlia. Two ambitious cops, Lee Blanchard (Aaron Eckhart) and Bucky Bleichert (Josh Hartnett), investigate the shocking murder of an aspiring young starlet. With a corpse so mutilated that photos are kept from the public, the case becomes an obsession for the men, and their lives begin to unravel. Blanchard's relationship with his girlfriend Kay (Scarlett Johansson) deteriorates, while Bleichert finds himself drawn to the enigmatic Madeleine (Hilary Swank), a wealthy woman with a dark and twisted connection to the victim.

  • Very disappointing

    Great period detail and wonderful cinematography. Everything else is pretty bad. Hartnet seems very miscast, Johansson is given very little to do and Swank seems to be from a different movie. Eckhart is solid but he pops in and out of the movie and he is generally very underwritten. The script as a whole makes little sense and the Black Dahlia case has only an outside connection to the central plot. It's just a big mess.
  • Dark and foreboding

    David Fincher was originally supposed to direct this film, but backed out due to the subject matter being too dark. A story too dark for David Fincher?! It is a dark film and I think that's why it bombed. Sure the acting is questionable at times(I know it's neo-noir but come on). It's a difficult film to watch, there is no happy ending and the characters are depressing. If you enjoyed films like Seven, then you might enjoy this or not.
  • Awesome.!;D
