The Black Dahlia
Excellent sets, some very attractive scenes (The nightclub with K D Lang singing in is one), yet in the end, this Brain De Palma film smacks more of an exercise in film noir than a really convincing piece of cinema. Some of the actors, notably Hilary Swank and Mia Kirshner really shine, Aaron Eckhart is satisfactory, a somewhat anachronistic Josh Harnett does his best to hold the film’s centre while Scarlett Johansson just doesn’t do it for me as Kay Lake. Besides, the storyline confuses and the grainy yellow photography does get a bit monotonous. Watchable and that is about it.
