Excellent film that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat and blow you away

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2005)

Even though I haven't read the book, if you ask me, L.A. CONFIDENTIAL is an excellent film that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat and blow you away. Smith (James Cromwell) kind of gave me the creeps. You'll understand why once you've read the book and seen this movie. In my opinion, the performances were top grade, the direction was superior, the costumes were perfectly designed, and the cast was perfectly chosen. Also, the soundtrack is really good, too. Before I wrap this up, I must warn you that this movie is very violent if you're going to see it, so viewer discretion is strongly advised. Now, in conclusion, if you like Curtis Hanson films or enjoyed James Ellroy's title novel, I highly recommend this movie. It's sure to keep you guessing from start to finish.
