L.A. Awesome.
Released: 1997
Genre(s): Mystery, Drama, Action
"L.A. Confidential" plays out like an old-school noir, but also manages to harness a timeless feel, through its utilization of cynical wit, brooding characters, and explosive action. The storyline spirals wildly from one conspiracy-laden plot element to another, and the end result is thoroughly enjoyable. The acting is well-done, the characters coming across as believably hard-boiled, but flawed and human enough to make you really grit your teeth and root for them during the various action sequences. This isn't just a great detective movie, and isn't just a great thriller - it's a great film, and should be enjoyed as an immensely well-told story by all.
Rating (out of 5): 4.5
