content: Given the interesting subject matter, Hollywoodland is a real snoozer. The movie's biggest flaw, aside from its glacier-like pace, is a woefully miscast Adrien Brody. He spends the whole movie moping around with a hangdog expression. He mumbles his dialog and comes across more like a B-movie mobster than a film noir detective.Ben Affleck was quite good and he's the reason this film gets 2 stars instead of zero. They could have eliminated the Brody detective subplot entirely, and it would have been a much better film.
