Style, tension and drama in abundance

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2017)

'LA Confidential' is a very well-made, stylish and hugely enjoyable detective movie with the full package of everything you expect from a crime drama, from great action to tension and drama - this film has it all in abundance.
The individual acting performances in this film are great, the trio of Spacey, Pearce and Crowe deliver perhaps some of the best performances of their career. Far from being the stereotypical action-packed cop flick, 'LA Confidential' gives us a proper storyline with excellent character development. That's what makes it stand out from the crowd.
'LA Confidential' is comfortably one of the best crime dramas of the 90s. A proper detective story that has you gripped from the start, without the need for excessive action and violence. A must watch for fans of this genre.
