Should have seen this instead of Titanic.

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2003)

I can now understand why so many people were upset six years ago when Titanic won all those oscars: LA Confidential is 10 times the film.
I won't get into the complicated plot, except to say that at the end of the film, you won't have to have gotten it to appreciate the story's final events.
There is great acting from all involved, especially Guy Pearce, who, through his amazing versatility, manages to seem nerdy and cool at the same time in every one of his scenes. There is also a prophetic role from Russel Crowe, and Kevin Spacey, and Kim Bassinger are perfectly cast.
A real treat of a film, that in many years could be seen as a truly artistic period piece as well.
10/10
