    The Black Dahlia

    Reviewed by

    I went to see this film because the trailer was intriguing and the cast and director were predominantly 'A' list. Visually the film worked at capturing the gritty intensity of noir pics of the '40s, however the script failed to create characters or a plot that engages. Ultimately nice to look at, but too incoherent and muddled to recommend. All sizzle and precious little steak. The ending which tries to explain the connection of events which have transpired on screen for the past two hours smacks of desperation. It's as if the studio ordered De Palma to include it so the movie would make some kind of narrative sense. Too little, too late.
