An intricate tale of conspiracy and corruption.

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2003)

Spoilers Possible.
LA Confidential was everything I didn't expect it to be. I'm not overly sure what my expectations were, but whatever they were, they were thrown right out of the water and entangled in the roots of a very clever film.

Three cops investigate a homicide in their own unique ways, which ultimately land them on the same path of turning the corrupt establishment on it's head and revealing the truth.
Often, in films, you can see things coming: with this film, I was incredibly shocked when the police Captain reveals his true colours. And this is what LA Confidential does so well: suprises, shocks and keeps you on your toes right up to the last few minutes of the film.
A startingly good film, one to watch. 10/10
