One of the Best Modern Noir Films Ever

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2013)

This is a movie that is pretty much made for me. It's a film noir with cursing and realistic violence! People wearing 50s clothing and sex! I really don't know why modern film noir hasn't become more of a thing. Every couple of years one comes out and everyone goes crazy for it but it never really takes off. This films has one of the best ensemble casts ever. Every character is fully formed and could carry their own movie. This film was the big break for both Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce, won Kim Basinger a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, and features on the of best death scenes ever, but for more about that, check out my review http://amandalovesmovies.com/2012/02/28/l-a-confidential/.
