Great movie!

Rating: 9/10 (6 March 2007)

Great Movie. Great value. After seeing so many short stories stretched out into 2 hours, it's nice to see a well paced story that squeezes all it can into almost 3 hours. This movie is a compelling from start to finish. It shuns the temptation to be sensationalistic and sticks pretty much to the known facts. The acting is excellent. On more than one occasion I forgot I was watching actors that I'd seen in other movies. The actors blended into the movie without becoming a distraction to the story. You get it all in this...mystery, intrigue, suspense. Unlike movies like Black Dahlia and Hollywoodland, your time is not wasted on fictional back story that pulls you away from the true events. It has the best qualities of Hollywoodland. Every moment of screen time moves the story forward. See this on the big screen or DVD. Either one is worth it.
