Review of The Black Dahlia (2006) by Chachaj — 31 Dec 2006
This is the first film I have ever watched which had me caring less for it with each passing minute. After the first five minutes I just stopped caring. I didn't argue the lack of logic. I didn't judge the bad casting.
I didn't scoff at the horrible dialogue and the cardboard acting. I merely accepted it. So Zen of me, eh? I must admit when Fiona Shaw came on screen and twisted all logic with her incredibly perverted performance, brilliant only in its welcome distraction, I had a twinge of being entertained but for a purely camp reason.
With this film Brian DePalma has become less a director and more a cruise ship activity director. And that cruise ship is sinking.
