If you know anything about the Black Dahlia murder and want to see something about her and the murder, don't waste your money or time on "The Black Dahlia."
That had to have been the absolute worst movie I ever paid to see. Several people walked out of the theater and I wanted to, but Brian and I figured we spent the money might as well see it through to see if it improves any. It didn't.
From the commercials and things I read about it, it seemed that it was going to be about her life and death. Not even close. Her life and death seemed to be a side story at best. There were several things they got completely wrong about her and all the sex in this movie just went WAY over the top - not sure how this wasn't an NC-17 between the violence, sex and cussing. Don't get me wrong, I can enjoy a good sex scene, but good Lord, I thought I was going to see a murder mystery movie and not a soft core porn.
If I had known it was going to be about a fictious cop and relatively nothing about the Black Dahlia, I would have waited until it came out on DVD and went in with it being a completely fictional tale.
They owe me stars on this one.
