L.A. Confidential is great, an absolute must-watch!
The movie contains a superb cast with names such as Russel Crowe, Kevin Spacey, Guy Pearce and the beautiful Kim Basinger. The last one winning an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her role as Lynn Bracken.
The story is set in 1950 L.A., and corruption in the police force is on the rise. Three police detectives investigate a number of murders in order to uncover the truth.Each has his signature way of serving justice, but as the story goes on, they each have to face their own convictions. How far are they prepared to go?
Bud white (played by Russel Crowe) doesn't always follow the rules by the book and has a though time keeping of controlling his more violent nature.
Then there is his counterpart Ed Exley (played by Guy Pearce). An ambitious man who wants to get ahead without breaking the rules. A challenge which he finds becomes harder and harder on his way to the top.
Last but not least, we have Jack Vincennes (played by Kevin Spacey). An extravagant figure who is always looking to make an extra buck out of his crime fighting career.
