The Hollywood Reporter -
The second half feels heavy and unfulfilled, potential greatness reduced to a good movie plagued with problems.

Village Voice -
Although the action set pieces are impressive, the exposition is sluggish. For all the posh dollies, high angles, and Venetian-blind crisscross patterns, The Black Dahlia rarely achieves the rhapsodic (let alone the delirious).

Entertainment Weekly -
The film is more than a little in love with the corruption it finds under the floorboards -- and that, of course, is perfectly dandy. I wouldn't trust a film noir that wasn't enthralled by decadence.

Premiere -
You've got to give the guy (De Palma) some credit. He's made a bizarre, baffling and at times flat-out bad movie. But at least it's rarely boring.

Variety -
"Chinatown" it ain't, not in any department. On its own level, however, new pic generates a reasonable degree of intrigue.
