Pure cinematic gold

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 1999)

L.A. Confidential is a pure triumph! The best film Hollywood has produced in years.
The acting is brilliant. The standout is the always reliable Spacey here. Spacey is the greatest actor of the 90's (in my humble opinion). He conveys so much in this film without saying anything.
The direction, cinematography and music are perfect. This is the best screenplay adaption made in the last 20 years! Kudos to Curtis and Hanso to bringing this "unadaptable book" to the screen. The result is pure cinematic gold, which will stand the test of time. This is how movies are supposed to be made. The film is worhty, and stands right up at the same level as the classic "Chinatown."
