\"The Black Dahlia\" is a film directed by Brain DePalma. I\'ve seen some of his best works, but not this movie. A terrible movioe with characters screamed out lines just to wake the audience up. There are more blood and gore that in a terrible horror film. The cast is wasted, even Hilary Swank is wasted. I like the set up and the look of late 1940\'s Hollywood, but \"The Black Dahlia\" never came though for me. A better movie on Hollyood is \"Hollywoodland.\" See that movie instead.
