A terrific storyline that connects everybody to everything, and as a result, keeps the audience intrigued. And although any one of the performances in the film could be singled out, I like to place emphasis on Russell Crowe's performance as tough guy cop Buddy White.

can't say it's bad... but i don't like that kind of story in the first place...

An absolutely outstanding cast come together to produce arguably the best film noir motion picture of all time. I especially liked Russell Crowe, Kim Basinger and Danny DeVito here and feel that the movie was robbed at the Academy Awards of best picture and best actor. There is no way on earth that Titanic is as good a film as LA Confidential and yet, it managed to steal best picture.

If you haven't seen LA Confidential yet, put it at the top of you must watch list. A truly exceptional film that should not be missed!

klassieker van '97 die 'n geweldige sfeer uitademt, sterrencast maakt het helemaal waar, sterk en ingewikkeld verhaal en Kim Basinger blijft een bom, ZALIG :)

Will be rewatching this soon.
