Hagrid R Mar 27, 2019 When I got the attention of L.A. Confidential, I immediately realise that it's directed by Curtis Hanson, the same guy who directed The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. It had some big stars in this like Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kim Basinger and Danny DeVito. It had a good story about three police officers and detectives investigating the "Nite Owl case" and other stuff. Kevin Spacey is Det. Sgt. Jack Vincennes who moonlights as a technical advisor on Badge of Honor, a popular TV police drama series. He is also providing Sid Hudgens, publisher of the Hush-Hush tabloid magazine. Russell Crowe is Officer Wendell "Bud" White who is in love with Lynn Bracken and he investigates the Nite Owl case where his partner is killed. Guy Pearce is Det. Lt. Edmund "Ed" Exley who is investigating the Nite Owl case. His father is murdered by a man who Exley nicknames "Rollo Tomasi". I kinda like the part where the police and criminals are fighting at "Bloody Christmas". The story is great and well written and it is faithful to the novel which is based on by James Ellroy. Kim Basinger is really good as Lynn Bracken, the directing style is immense when something goes wrong and the police are on the crime investigation and the cinematography is great. I know I say that quite a lot but what can I say? They immense. As much I loved it for it's story, directing, editing, art design and cinematography and everything about this. L.A. Confidential is a impeccable neo-noir crime film filled with characters, mystery and beautifully crafted set pieces. If you guys haven't seen it then I would definitely recommend you watch it. It is very good, really fantastic and very Hush-Hush. See more

Kylo W Feb 19, 2019 Witty, quick and brilliantly written, LA Confidential captures the complex relationship between the police and the public (and also interrelationships between the police) in Los Angeles in the 1950s. The performances by all the actors were phenomenal and makes it hard to take your eyes off the film at any time. Brilliant! See more

Kylo G Nov 17, 2018 3 Hauptdarsteller die sich nichts schenken, vom Selbstverliebten, zum Schlägertypen und bis zum unsicheren aber entusiastichen Neukömmling. Noir, Action, Gangsterfilm, Drama, Thriller. All diese Elemente die zum beliebtesten der Pop Kultur zählen reflektiert ein großartiges Drehbuch, ein toller Cast und großartige Bilder. LA Confidential kann als das Werk des Neo-Noirs neben Blade Runner bezeichnet werden See more
