Reaction: We were a little nervous when we realized how much it would cost to realize Andrew Dominik's (dark) vision on this one. Ultimately we decided to pay what he and Brad Pitt needed because they are the type of filmmakers and actors we, as a studio, would like to work with.



"With its plot that zigs and zags like knife slashes, its cynicism stoked to the melting point, the movie brings the thrill of corruption crackingly to life." - Allen Poole, AV Club



"Director Andrew Dominik and producer/star Brad Pitt deliver something visually dazzling but ultimately disappointing." - Olive Carroll, Houston Chronicle



"White Jazz has long been considered one of Ellroy's least adaptable works.  Not only is the prose unique, to say the least, but there are few if any characters to root for. Having Brad Pitt's movie star charisma definitely gives you someone to root for, even if you don't particularly like him." - Mark Rawls, Seattle Times
