One of the best films noir ever made

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2000)

Along with "The Maltese Falcon," this is the best film noir I have ever seen and this one has three anti-heros, not just one. The writing and the performances in "L.A. Confidential" are startlingly good. I have read James Ellroy's book of the same name twice and I think that the film is even better than the book. How often is it possible to say that? Virtually every scene has a moment that is either funny or moving, and often both. Top notch entertainment.
