Do you make the three Negroes for the Nite Owl killings?

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2013)

Every character is flawed, and yet we still care about them. Such is the enigma of this period crime drama that tells us more about the cruelty of human nature than we might care to admit about ourselves. "Why did you become a police officer?"." I forget." Honest, sexy and action packed, the movie cliché underbelly of Hollywood and a corrupt LAPD is dragged under the porch to tell a story mostly speculated on the demise of Mickey Cohen's heroin racket. Accordingly, the story allows our stars to do what they do best, be bigger than the grand silver screen they're performing on. "Life is good in Los Angeles... it's paradise on Earth." Ha ha ha ha. That's what they tell you, anyway."
