The Black Dahlia
Detectives investigate the mysterious death of an aspiring film star in yesteryear’s Hollywoodland. Hey, didn’t Alien review that movie last night.
Aaron Eckhart and Josh Hartnett play two detectives trying to figure out who killed Elizabeth Short, nicknamed the Black Dahlia, in this noir gumshoe tale directed by Brian De Palma. The notorious unsolved murder case is real, but this movie fictionalizes a resolution to the mystery. The characters and the sets really catch your eye. Scarlett Johansson and Hilary Swank play the passionate femme fatales. There are some surprising twists and turns; so pay attention to all of the clues before you even know they are clues. The movie reads like a good detective novel filled with fascinating characters and an intriguing puzzle to solve.
Alien gives it 3 “fire and ice” stars out of 4.
