"Hollywoodland" (2006), the story that tells about the mysterious circumstances surrounding actor George "Superman" Reeves' death, is a very well done film. Directed masterfully by Allen Coulter, this film also marks a return to form for Ben Affleck (after several duds including "Gigli" and "Daredevil"), who plays George Reeves himself. Also spectacular (as usual) is Adrien Brody as the detective hired to look into Reeves' death. One of the weaker points for me unfortunately was the script, it just didn't have that extra energy and seemed to just be the first 2 acts. In fact when it ended, I was surprised it ended, because it didn't feel like there was a climatic act 3 yet. But regardless, I enjoyed seeing this period piece if only for the wonderful acting. An 8 out of 10.
