Never off the record, on the QT, and not very hush-hush

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2000)

This film can be described in many ways but my favourite way is the following. It is a hardcore crime film mixed in with a pinch of a thriller and a teaspoon of some film noir. Throw in some Spacey, Crowe, a bit of DeVito, and a dash of Basigner. Once all ingredients are mixed together, you get, L.A. Confidential. A smart, sassy movie that never lets you go all the way up to the end. A terrific movie that deserves all the recognition it has ever gotten.
