I like the genre. I understood the story. I am familiar with James Ellroys' work. I like most of the actors, I saw it at the theater when it came out with great expectation. It put my ass to sleep. I waited a while and rented the dvd..alas. I saw it listed on cable and tried again, STILL wanting desperately to connect..Sigh. Aside from Scarlett who was magnificent in 50's costuming, the whole thing is a mess to me. Seems as though the only cinematic nod to film noir was to make everyone wear a hat and chain smoke non-filter cigarettes. Jeez. It gets a 5 from me and not for LACK OF TRYING!
