One of my favorite movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2005)

I really think LA Confidential is one of my favorite movies ever. Whoever was in charge of casting this film is phenomenally talented I mean an unknown Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce ( who is fantastic in Memento and I'm really sorry to see hasn't been doing many other big films). I've shown this film to a lot of my friends who are not serious movie viewers (prefering a Sandra Bullock or Meg Ryan film above all others) and they loved it there is really something special about this film I would recommend it to anyone (even those of you who are foolish enough to not like Russell Crowe) Kim Basinger is fabulous as well as Kevin Spacey. There is something about this film that really gets to me I think the style is creative and visually appealing as well it has an old Hollywood look and feel that is really authentic. The script is also fantastically crafted its funny, mysterious and intelligent. The ending is not what you'd expect...I think anyone who watches it will be pleasantly surprised.
