Una película que es buena

Rating: 8/10 (25 February 2007)

La Confidential, or in English "The Feminine Confidential", is a 1950's crime drama whose all-star cast includes Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kevin Spacey, and Danny DeVito. Despite what the title suggest, La Confidential is neither Spanish nor feminine. Filled with drugs, violence, and prostitutes, one wonders why the movie wasn't titled El Confidential.
Set in the fictional city of La, Curtis Hanson's adaptation of James McElroy's novel sports a story filled with mystery and deceit. If you have trouble following the twisted plot, as many will, you can still enjoy the movie because of the characters developed well by their creators and acted well by their actors. Both Crowe and Spacey are at their best and their characters seem to fuel the movie more than the at-times-hazy plot.
Because of excessive violence I can't recommend this movie to any of the la's out there, but most el's will find it a blast.
