What a Script! Great Police Movie held in 1950!

Rating: 8/10 (27 April 2007)

In this movie I felt the total pleasure and delight of a magnificent script!, it is great how you can combine action, thrilling and unsolved police cases into this great movie!. Also with great actors that perform their roles extraordinary! The Oscar nominations and winnings of this movie are absolutely well earned! The story at some parts is somewhat complex, but the result is well obtained finally! Kim Bassinger acting is superb!, but the ones that i liked most where Rusell Crowe and Guy Pierce, they are Aussies (Guy was born in Englad but lived in Australia since he was 5) and still their accent is totally American. This detective movie resemble in a good way the time where corruption, mafia and illegal traffic was a total challenge for any good police officer. The great cinematography brought back those years in a very realistic way.
About the Film: The story is placed on the 1950's, where mafia boss Mickey Cohen was imprisoned (the news appeared in Hush Hush, a newspaper managed by Sid Hudgens (Danny De Vito)); in the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) leaded by Captain Dudley (James Cromwell) the police force then occupies of fewer things, but the city was still on a critical moment,some prostitution cases where on course of action, in one of them, Pierce Patchett (David Stratchairn) a rich person from LA owned one where womens where dressed and made look like famous actresses of the time, one of them was Lynn Bracken (Kim Bassinger). Meanwile three police officers of LAPD have to work together when a case of homicide in which a lot of people died at a restaurant, (included a police officer); these three cops are: (1) The tough police officer Bud White (Rusell Crowe), (2) the rookie and spiteful Edmund Jennings (Guy Pearce) who was hated by all in the department and (3) the Sgt Jack Vincennes (Kevin Spacey) who loved cameras and was very conceited working as assessor for a TV Series; they truly have to stick to each other in order to solve an intriguing puzzle!
8/10 and one thumb up for Curtis Hanson.
