L.A. Confidential
DIRECTION % Film noir style.
ACTING % All the characters are great except for perhaps the female support.
EDITING/SPECIAL EFFECTS % Generally good.
PLOT % The strongest part of the movie. Deception, love, intrigue and much much more dropped into the storyline to great effect..
STRONG WORDS AND VIOLENCE ETC % Does anyone want to question me about that!
MUSIC % Good and it fits the period well.
SOUND % Guns and sounds from the 1950's
HOOKABILITY u% Seemed to take a while to get into with flashing newspaper reports get into the way which makes it look like another fast mvoie with substance however.......
LASTABILITY '%..........as soon as you feel part of the investigating team and is beginning to find your feet you will want to solve this puzzle.
OVERALL % A good solid movie that is well worth seeing until the end!
