LA Confidential (1997)
Top 2 - 1997
Very hush-hush
LA Confidential is a great thriller that keeps you wildly interested for 140 minutes of "tough, gorgeous and glamorous entertainment" concerning corruption and betrayal within the LAPD. A shooting at an all night diner, is investigated by three detectives in their own styles.
Complexity, a sharp and fast flowing script and a superb cast make LA Confidential one of 1997's best films.
A bunch of spectacular actors pull off a greatly entertaining, intelligent and intriguing film similar along many lines with Polanski's Chinatown.
