A fantastically and detailed example of how a film should be made

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2006)

L.A confidential at first seems like a one of those films that has an all star cast, big names but not really anything special e.g oceans eleven with Pitt, Clooney, Damon and Julia Roberts. Taken into consideration L.A Confidential excels at using each member of its talented cast to the best of their abilities to create an intriguing watch which one might argue helped these actors to go onto make such fantastic film as Crowe in Gladiator, Spacey in American Beauty, Pearce in the count of Monte cristo. L.A confidential managed to surprise me with a variety of different characters from the troubled hardy Bud white to the lifestyle of high class Prostitute Lynn. I don't actually want to give anything away about this film as i feel to thoroughly enjoy it you must watch it from start to finish without really knowing a thing about it. I highly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys an intriguing, thrilling and extremely well acted picture.
