oh and what high expectation i have . fifteen minute into this and i know i be in for an exceptionally long two hour . i and personally and have research as much a i possibly could on the case long before the movie come out . and the only thing that actually live up to true drama of the real event be the crime scene . it be very accurate . but that all that be go for this film . throughout and you simply become bored to tear . most of the time and i be leave confused and often amuse by the overacting . there be still part that i can not understand or do not see the significance . the film do not go anywhere up until the very end and and even the dramatic part weren not very exciting . this movie have nothing to draw you in and and by the end it leave one feeling unsatisfied . the black dahlia definitely could have be do so much good then it be and it be all just a jumbled mess .
