Rating: 9/10 (24 October 1998)

Well LA CONFIDENTIAL is a suspense tornado of lies and deceit that revolves around three very different police officer personalities. Officer Bud White is the brutish personality who doesn't feel he is very smart, so he forces the hand of whoever stands in his way. Sgt. Jack Vincennes is all Hollywood. Mr. Showbiz. He doesn't even dress like a police officer. Lastly, there's Sgt. Ed Exley, a clean cut college educated character looking for promotions. Exley understands the politics of police work in Los Angeles. I must say that L.A. Confidential is better than TITANIC(I think it is).If you haven't seen the film, and wonder, is it really that good, the answer is simply YES. This could be the best cop movie ever. Well written, well directed, well acted, and with cinematography and set designs that are simply spectacular.It is quite simply one of the best movies ever made forget Titanic. This is the best picture of the year! BELIEVE ME......
