    lmao. I've seen this movie three times and still can't figure out what the hell the plot was about. Glad it isn't just me.

      If you don't understand it after 3 times your either simple minded or just being sarcastic. It's not a classic, but If you can't follow the story you must have a small brain

        Lol, obviously, I realize that it is a story based on Elizabeth Short's murder. The sub plot is so twisty, I gave up trying to follow it. The end result to realize, is that the LAPD has always been corrupt.
        As for why I've seen it three times, (Probably more than that since my last post) I love the fashions and watching historical fiction of that era.
        No need to be nasty by the way. It atrophies the brain, and size seems to matter to you.
        Peace.

          I wasnt being nasty at all, It's just if you want to call yourself a fan of film, you have to like some films with multiple storylines and not just one story. Come on how old are you really

            Older than you apparently.
            OK, that's the last of my responses. Moving on.
            Sorry, but you just made that too easy.

                        Is this film really the hill of condescension you want to die on? Couldn't you at least pick a good movie?

                              Careful admitting thatpeople here in IMDB will call you an "idiot" for not understanding "good cinema".
                              I can't beleive the guy that brought us GREAT films like Scarface & Carlito's Way directed this. His recent movies like Black Dahlia, Snake Eyes (to a degree) and of course, Mission Impossible 1 are all made up of "plot twists"to the point where the movies are almost incoherent.
                              I actually voted Black Dahlia a 2/10and that's because the ACTING was good. The movie is literally a "throw away" and there's nothing memorable about it.
                              Once is enough for me.

                                the idea of Black Dahlia being bad in comparison to Scarface and Carlito's Way is kinda funny. And the "plot twists" are inconsequential. Black Dahlia and Snake Eyes both made perfect sense to me the first time I saw them.

                                  I'm sorry, but LOL.
                                  The story is amazing and the dialogue is just awesome.

                                        It was a film adaptation of a fictional book, that was based on a true story and nothing to do with Hollywood.
