A Terrific Movie - Engrossing and Entertaining

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2000)

If you haven't seen LA Confidential yet, do yourself a favor and spend a couple of hours enjoying what is one of the best movies in recent movie history. The plot moves along at a rapid pace, so if you don't pay attention it's easy to get lost. But between the terrific characters and the great music, you can't help but get caught up into it.
The plot is taken from the book by James Ellroy, who specializes in sizzling stories about the dark side of Los Angeles in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. He may be revising history but there is a ring of authenticity in his writing and that authenticity really comes through in the movie.
You simply cannot go wrong with this movie.
