...Hollywoodland, to its credit, does not give Reeves, who is well and affably played by Ben Affleck, much of an inner life. It presents him as a good-natured hunk, a kind of male starlet, who got off to a promising start - he had a nice little role in Gone With the Wind, a rather longer one in So Proudly We Hail - but then lost momentum because of World War II service.
