although the setting (time, costumes, actors) was promising, I got lost somewhere in the middle.

promising but... boring and disappointin

Description: The Black Dahlia drips with film noir atmospherics as it unspools a lurid and complicated story taken from James Ellroy's true-crime-inspired novel of the same name. Two boxers-turned-cops--Lee "Mr. Fire" Blanchard (Aaron Eckhart, Thank You For Smoking) and Bucky "Mr. Ice" Bleichert (Josh Hartnett, Black Hawk Down) ... (more)

"29.10.12. Netflix / PS3 Kerta kaikkisen sietämätöntä räpellystä. Kirjailijan monimutkainen visio vaikuttaa kankaalla enemmänkin kököltä pelleilyltä - juonenkuljetus on ontuvaa ja sekavaa. Hartnett ja Swank ovat aivan sietämättömiä enkä edelleen tajua Johanssoninkaan suosiota. Jotkut kohtaukset tapahtuvat vain siksi, että juoni käskee niiden tapahtua.
