I wish the filmmakers had spent more time on the life of George Reeves. Including his early years and the beginning of his career. Over half the movie seemed preoccupied with the skinny Detective Simo, played by Brody. His low rent life, and the second case he was investigating with the crazy man who ultimately murders his wife, were unnecessary and distracting. And why would a cute blonde actress hang out with a poor, unattractive, rude detective? Diane Lane did do a fantastic job, and Ben Affleck came across well in showing Reeves as a frustrated shouldabeen major star. In fact, Reeves is as well known, if not better known today, than many of the major stars of his time. I saw this at the Big Newport, a huge theater, and only about 15 other people were in the giant auditorium to watch it with us. Several left before the ending. I think Lane should get a nomination for her part, and that's the best I can say about this film.
