Talk about being glued to a movie for two hours!

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 1999)

Now here's a movie worth watching with a date. I had seen the movie once before but I literally forced my girlfriend to sit and watch it with me. No word of a lie, she was genuinely glued to the movie within twenty minutes. In this film noire, set in the Los Angeles circa 1950, we introduced to three budding police officers--Kevin Spacey portrays Jack Vincennes, the "model" cop who regularly appears television. Guy Pearce plays a the young Ed Exley. But Russell Crowe steals the show as a Officer Bud White, a man driven to protect a woman from any possible harm. It has been quite a long time since a film has captured my attention such as this. Be on the look out for James Cromwell who portrays Captain Dudley Smith. Get a date or call a friend and pop in this movie and I will guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
