Was it any good? I'm fascinated with the murder case itself, but the film has a very good cast and I wondered if it was worth going to see.

Saw it and was totally disappointed, as the book on which it's based is one of my favorites. Whoever told Josh Hartnett he could act was either lying or on drugs: he's an ultra-light piece of fluff with no ability to deliver a line that rings true. Brian DePalma, the director, gave us not a "noir" thriller; it's more of a "blanc". Skip it, and read the book by James Ellroy instead.

Well let me give you my version of the movie. The ending pissed me off! I saw the original classic of the Black Dahlia several times, and this film will only copy from the original story with new stars; new glamour possibly a new setting. But the story is the same. But go check it out for yourself because I've noticed that when people go to the movies and see the same film, different people view the film differently as far as their opinion of the film.

Yes, it's pretty good.
Critics felt like the story was too jumpy and a little contrived, but I disagree. You go to a movie like that to be put in that era and see images from that era as part of the story, and the director did an excellent job in that pursuit.

I haven't seen it yet, but I want to... although by the sounds of it i might wait till it comes out to rent. I want to see Hollywoodland also.
and Alena is right, being bisexual is twice as hard
