Critic's Grade: B+



Surprisingly entertaining. Ben Affleck, known for playing himself, shows a little range by playing a tortured and humiliated George Reeves, stuck in a dead end job of playing the T.V. version of Superman. Adrien Brody plays a sleazy private eye hired by Reeves' mother to investigate the murder. Brody is slick through out, with a cool arrogance about him. He plays the role nicely. All of that comes crashing down when butts head with studio boss Eddie Mannix played by Bob Hoskins (Garfield: A tale of Two kitties, Who Framed Roger Rabbit). Diane Lane plays the philander wife of Mannix who has a fling with Reeves until he dumps for a girl who ultimately causes his doom. Those of us who grew up thinking Reeves died playing Russian Roullette, are mistified as this movie provides multiple possiblities as to how the man of steel really bought it. Good flick if you have the stamina. Three beers for the boys. Good cast, good acting, good script, dull ending. But that's just my opinion.
