L.A. Confidential
USA 1997, 133 minutes
Dir. Curtis Hanson
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Suspense/Crime / Film Noir, Gangsters
Topics: Period 1950s.
Aroview: Slam-bang adaptation preserves the lacerating edge of James Ellroy's crime novel while polishing up the sheen of 50s Hollywood. Antipodean boys Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce slip into gumshoes of opposing ethical fibres to rustle up the rough and the lawless, while Kim Basinger seduces her way to Oscar glory in a career-best sexpot performance.

5 stars (Exceptional) Great performances from an all-star, almost-perfect cast, this the the best screen adaptation of Ellroy's work, showing off the gritty LA crime/gangster backstage of wanna-be glamorous Hollywood. ~Tom H

5 stars (Exceptional) An immaculate film with a gripping, twist-filled story. Guy Pearce and Kevin Spacey are highlights of the near-perfect cast. ~Wizzums
