A 90's Classic!

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2012)

L.A Confidential is a 90's classic and a great addition to the film/neo noir genre. What captivated me about this movie is great acting, masterful directing, and just a wonderful, well-written screenplay.
This film is a mixture of police corruption and Hollywood celebrities that shaped the city of Los Angeles in the early 1950's.
The acting is just fantastic. The three lead actors of Russell Crowe, Kevin Spacey, and Guy Pearce gave the best performances of their careers. I loved Russell Crowe who is a tough guy but with a soft heart for women. Also, Kim Basinger and James Cromwell gave memorable performances.
Overall, this is a great mystery thriller that has a nice plot twist, a common theme for films of the 1990's. This movie should have swept the Oscars if it was not for Titantic. I rate this film 9/10.
