Director: Allen Coulter
Starring: Adrien Brody, Ben Affleck, Diane Lane, Bob Hoskins, Robin Tunney
I love a good murder mystery, espeically one like this. A mysterious suicide doesn't look right to one investigator, and it's not just any suicide either. It's Superman's (or the actor that played him, anyway) and there are lots of reasons for him to kill himself but even more for others to do the job instead. So is it suicide?
The resulting flashbacks aim to tell the story while Adrien Brody tries to get to the bottom of the story. Ben Affleck embodies the legendary George Reeves well, donning the famous red and blue suit like a champ. I'm not sure how much of the movie is truth or theory, but they unfold this mystery with just the right amount of suspense and intrigue.
After I finished the movie, I wanted to learn more. If you're curious, there's a whole article on TruTV.com that will fill in the blanks for you.
