L.A. Confidential review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 02/07/12
A story of Detectives, Wendell "Bud" White (Russell Crowe), Detective Jack Vincennes (Kevin Spacey), and a Sergeant named Edmund Exley (Guy Pearce). Sid Hudgens (Danny DeVito), publisher of Hush-Hush, a Hollywood sleaze magazine Lynn Margaret Bracken (Kim Basinger) are involved. Some fine quotes: Ed - "All I ever wanted was to measure up to my father." Loew - "C'mon, don't pull that good-cop bad-cop crap. I practically invented it."
The plot was brilliant and pace of the story was right. Its score, costumes and screenplay were endearing and fitting. Each character had its own personality and is likable to a fault. Definitely one of the best 90's multi-nominated film. Theme's of police corruption, loyalty and persistence were presented. L.A. Confidential is a wonderful crime with a good twist and noteworthy performances to keep you entertained.
