From the master of some classic gangster movies, Brian De Palma brings this fictional take on a true incident - the unsolved murder of a young nothing in Hollywood. But somehow, I found the movie a victim of trying to be very stylish - fastly packed first hour or so, with no real buildup. Unlike the Zodiac for instance, which I liked for its very deliberate plot. Worth a watch though for a reasonable thriller - Scarlett Johansson comes out the strongest I think, while Hilary Swank somehow doesnt fit playing an evil one. Blame it on stereotyping.Rating: * *
