It's a movie that offers you a new story, witty plot, great actors, and brilliant characters

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2009)

I always had something extra for movies that offer you many characters equally interesting and you have to choose one as the best. In L.A. Confidential, you have the brilliant character of Spacey my favorite in this movie, who goes with the flow and plays it brilliantly but he is honest from the inside and without his brilliance the case wouldn't have been solved. Then, you have the character of Russle Crowe, the emotional who has no control over his feelings and his physical strength helps as well in solving the pieces of the puzzle, and finally the character of Guy Pearce who is smart, overly ambitious, and his jealousy which comes from his insecurity makes him act irrationally in a way different than that of Crowe. You have these three ingredients, add to them Devito and Basinger and you will have a delicious movie cocktail.
I don't know if anyone remembers the scene of the atheist, in "Five Card Stud" with Dean Martin, who before he dies he puts his hands in a way as if he was praying though he is atheist from which Martin was able to know that the criminal is the priest (Robert Mitchum). Spacey does something of the like in the movie. I love these brilliant spices which makes the plot smarter and more entertaining.
