Hollywoodland (2006)

This movie should have been much more interesting than it was. The storyline with the detective, however, was mostly boring. Very run-of-the-mill. I wanted to return to the flashbacks more than I wanted to see the "present" timeline of the story. Ben Affleck, surprisingly, turned in a fantastic performance -- much better than anything I've ever seen him do. Too bad the moviemakers didn't concentrate solely on his character and cut out the other plotline. 2.5 stars.
