The Black Dahlia. While I appreciate what de Palma was trying to do with his homage to film noir, in execution this film was terribly flawed. It was as if they tried to cram every element of the book into two hours, and it left the film a muddled mess. The main character's obsessive internal monologue was about the only high point here. And just let me say this: if there was ever a person who was miscast in the role of the femme fatale, it would be Hillary Swank in this film. She is a decent actress, but she was horribly miscast in this one. Avoid. Overall: 2/10
