Does the book more than justice. Absolute Justice.

Rating: 9/10 (11 July 2000)

Despite loving the film to bits, I was afraid that reading the book would leave me with the usual bitter aftertaste of having wasted a good written story to a decent series of images. Instead my infatuation with L.A.C. was confirmed page by page. The cast was almost perfect (if only a little too 'good' when compared with the original paper versions), the story simplified and made easier to follow without taking anything away from its dark, underworld charme, glamour and seediness alive and creepy as in J.Ellroy's novel. Give us more films like this, that will not make us regret the books!!!
