Film noir done to perfection

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2013)

L.A. Confidential is a movie that all film noirs should aspire to be. It totally captures the feeling and perspective of things going on in the early 1950's. Tremendous cast with Kevin Spacey, Guy Pearce and Russell Crowe in the lead roles with Kim Basinger, James Cromwell, Danny DeVito and David Strathairn in supporting roles. The movie even has a fake TV show called Badge of Honor which is very similar to the real life show Dragnet of that era.
This is the movie that made Russell Crowe a star to the American filmgoing audience.
How any self respecting legitimate movie fan voted for an over budgeted melodrama like Titanic over this great film should have their film voting credentials stripped ASAP.
