Hollywoodland

Hollywoodland: Unlock the mysteries surrounding the death of the actor who played Superman on TV - George Reeves. Well, actually this film may not unlock anything, but it does shed light on the case that was ruled a simple suicide back in 1959. Adrien Brody plays a detective hired by Reeves’ mother to investigate her son’s death. He instantly finds out that Reeves was in a complex situation in both his career and personal life. For starters he was having an affair with the wife of Bob Haskins - an MGM executive. The film interweaves between possible murder scenarios and the parallel life of the detective investigating the death. The film does a lot right and I liked it overall, but I had higher expectations……still a good rental.
