Many people have said the story is confusing and the Dahlia murder seems secondary to the story interweaved around Mr Fire and Mr Ice but have they read the leviathan that's Ellroys book? This is a decent screenplay, with some great twists and if anything perhaps a little simplified from the book. In addition to this the film is well paced well acted with Hartnett, Johannson and Swank in particular acting in the classic style of 40/50's film noir. Definitely warrants a second viewing revaluation. BEST ACTRESS in the BEST FILM May 31, 2007 Domenico Del Coco 3 out of 7 found this review helpful Black Dahlia is a gripping film that made a another view of the world of Hoolywood. It is a movie that made thinking the best end the worth world. Black and white are a symbol in this film and Johannson and Swank are good as actress. You must buy the book by Ellroy and the soundtrack for appreciate well this bestwork. Who ever said they don't make em like they used to? August 23, 2007 A. J. Smith (UK) 2 out of 6 found this review helpful Brian DePalma proves himself once again to be a director par excellence with this intriguing adaptation of James Ellroy's fictionalized retelling of the most infamous unsolved murder in Californian history. br /The whole movie has a 1940s film noir feel to it, and credit must be given to the cinematographers who have convincingly rendered 1940s Hollywood for the modern eye. br /Josh Hartnett is every bit the part as a 1940s LAPD Detective, coupled with an intriguing performance by Aaron Eckhardt as his partner, and Scarlett Johansson simply sizzles in her part as Eckhardt's wife, looking every bit the part in 1940s Hollywood. One could be forgiven for thinking Jean Harlow had been reborn. why all the hating? February 12, 2009 FUTURESTARdelux (united kingdom) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful this film is amazing but for some reson a lot of people disagree . . . br /the actors do a great job, the storyline is great, scarlett johansson and hillary swank are gorgeous what more could you want? Dark, confusing, brutal, showing abyss of the human soul and strangely fascinating May 19, 2007 Klaus van Amelrode 16 out of 18 found this review helpful This is much more than a mere mystery. It is dark, often very confusing as one does not seem to understand what the hell is going on, it shows the abyss of the human soul, partly extremely brutal and - nearly against one's own better judgement - utterly fascinating. It might be not a nice story but it it is nicely filmed, artly in itself, great pictures which one like to keep as paintings. I enjoyed it very much, but I suppose it is not a movie for the mass market, inspite its impressive cast. Showing reviews 1-5 of 49 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...10 Next »
