My brother put it perfectly when he turned to me while the credits were rolling and said, "De Palma could have made a really interesting movie about The Black Dahlia; but he didn't."

As a die-hard fan of the old De Palma classics from the 80s, it breaks my heart to report that his new flick is a cinematic tragedy. Simply put, the De Palma of old is gone daddy gone.
