Well acted

Rating: Null/10 (13 June 2014)

L.A. Confidential is that sort of crime/corruption film that I've grown accustomed to, and the one I tend to like enough but not quite love as so many other people do. Still, it's pretty good, and it delivers enough thrills and turns to entertain for its entire running time. It's pulpy and campy in its own sort of way, but never so much that it doesn't take itself seriously. It's sort of fun knowing that both Pierce and Crowe were unknown at this time. The latter is just so perfect in his "sensitive bad boy" portrayal, and so gosh darn dreamy (yes, I'm guilty). Overall, this isn't anything too deep, but it gets the job done, and I still wish it had beaten Titanic.
