James Ellroy is the thinking man's Elmore Leonard. Same pulp fiction roots, but Ellroy tells darker and more complex tales - most famously in LA Confidential. If this is a patch on that film, we'll be thrilled, but surprised. The subject matter of this one is pitch black, which may put many off. And while De Palma can handle a set piece like no one else, he will need to be on top form to draw convincing performances out of his leads.
