150 Movies You Should See Before You Die (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Sometimes, a film was just too expensive and the investment couldn't be recovered. And then there are films that fail because they deserve to. THE BLACK DAHLIA Universal Pictures/Millennium Films, 2006 PRODUCERS Rudy Cohen, Moshe Diamant, Avi Lerner, and Art Linson WRITERS Josh Friedman (script), James Ellroy (novel) DIRECTOR Brian De Palma STARS Josh Hartnett (Bucky Bleichert), Aaron Eckhart (Lee Blanchard), Scarlett Johansson (Kay Lake), Mia Kirshner (Elizabeth Short), and Hilary Swank (Madeleine Linscott) A publicity-hungry police detective (Eckhart) arranges to have himself and his younger partner (Hartnett) assigned to the grisly murder of a would-be actress (Kirshner). As one detective starts to mysteriously come unglued, the other uncovers not only dark secrets relating to the dead actress, but to his partner as well. Why It Sucks Does it seem weird that the Black Dahlia murder, one of the most well-known scandals in Hollywood history and the title of the freakin' film is relegated to a minor tangent in this movie?
