Review of Black Dahlia (2006) by Conner R — 29 Mar 2010
I think that itâ??s just as good as L.A. Confidential and a brilliant take on the 40s Crime and Noir genre. Unlike L.A. Confidential, Brian De Palma is an incredibly skilled director who has a vast background on film history, so naturally itâ??s a better looking film.
The story is condensed in a different fashion, but itâ??s more faithful to James Ellroyâ??s original story. The performances are a lot more stylized, but I for one loved them. Everyone from Josh Hartnett to Mia Kirshner were really fun to watch.
It just had a really great feel to it and I think itâ??s De Palmaâ??s best work in years.
