brace yourself for some real truth . a you notice on imdb and this movie be advertise a crime or drama or mystery or thriller . the trailer make the movie look the same . unfortunately and if you go to this movie with that in mind and you may and should be disappoint . when i see the genre describe a it be and i want to see just that . oh and you can add comic relief and maybe good music and some reasonable horror and nostalgia and but do not do what be do to the black dahlia . they obviously do not intend to make this a serious movie and but rather it be a cheap attempt to imitate a film noir sometimes and a tv mystery sometimes and then other time i do not think they know what they actually want to do . when i be suck into a movie that i believe be go to be a mystery and i want to be able to enjoy the movie throughout and get involve in the mystery . in this case and the viewer have to spend far too much time try to figure out what the movie be try to do . just give me the mystery that the movie be about . no one need to make the movie making process a mystery . for those of you who be go just to see scarlett johansson and i have to say i be very disappointed in her . her act need a lot of improvement or she need to find movie that embrace her sensuality . yeah and she be sexy in this movie and too and but her voice do not fit her action and her acting be puzzle and not mysterious . i want the scarlett i know from lose in translation and american rhapsody at least she could act and her voice fit her character . other main character be just a puzzling and however . and honestly and the best and most interesting character be treat somewhat like extra and though one of those extra be by far the best actress in the movie . you can call this an imitation film noir graphic novel that should have take a more serious approach to even those genre . i give it a 4 out of 10 out of generosity .
