the villain

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 1998)

Of course L.A. Confidential has great acting, but every post missed the great performance given by James Cromwell as one of the most chilling villains in recent movie history. One of those movies that gets better with each viewing because of its rich texture, plotting, and characters. Ranks among the decade's movies that will last for a very long time, including Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, The Truman Show...Superior to Chinatown as far as the genre is concerned.
