It's hip, It's cool... it's also totally boring

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2003)

LA Confidential is a good satire on the Glamorous Hollywood/California image, if that's what it's meant to be. But although I liked some old film noir, nothing in this movie appealed to me except making fun of what is seemed so "glamorous" about these places in California. Especially at the end, it goes from bearable to horrible. It turns into one of those movies where everyone dies instantly from one gunshot except the main characters who get shot multiple times and take forever to die, if they do at all. Suddenly someone has to satirize the satire.
