GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Kenkeller-98-620553 I saw this at the theater the first night t opened and watch it whenever it comes on. Tight script, excellent cast and a great story. Two thumbs up.

The Movie Diorama Well, I wasn't expecting that! I went in thinking it would be an overlong stylised drama with one or two scenes of detective work. Quite the reverse actually, it's entirety was an unsolved case. Three separate officers, each with their own motives, investigate separate aspects to a case which eventually interlink with each other. Let me just whip out the old crime checklist: Shootouts? Check. Detective work? Check. Corruption? Check. A plethora of twists and turns? Most definitely. The latter is what truly separates this from other similar crime stories, there are so many twists that are naturally executed. There isn't one moment where I thought "Oh, that was a coincidence!". All of these characters are fleshed out, each with a contrasting personality, where any decisions that are made just feel right. A serious straight rookie quickly climbing the ranks utilising his intellect. A tempered brute using his physicality to progress with the case. Then you have the suave experienced officer who uses his connections to get answers. Individually they work excellently, but as a unit? Even better. It plays out brilliantly because of Hanson's direction. Refreshingly switching between these officers and showcasing the 1950's L.A. lifestyle, he managed to create an environment that lives and breathes crime. One of the best casts I've seen from a 90's film. Crowe, Spacey, Cromwell and Pearce (arguably my favourite role of his) all brought grit and emotional captivation to their roles. The script is densely compact with development and taut pacing, although occasionally does dip. I did find Strathairn's character underused and didn't add much to the story. However, the focus is on the case, naturally including character development and thrills to make an outstanding crime thriller. I suspect this will eventually gain the perfect rating.

AJWo90 I have to thank this movie for helping me with my studies! After my fiancée put it on believing it to be a classic, I blanked out after 15 minutes and chose to write an essay instead (that says something)! I can't fault the acting, but my God the story line was dull. The plot felt really clunky and jumped all over the place. For example, a 20 second scene of a politician being blackmailed to change his vote, with no explanation or mention of it again. Then the twist at the end is that a cop is corrupt, even though he admits to being dirty in Scene #1 - literally.. I'm dumbfounded by the praise on here; it was like a boring version of Black Dahlia.

Sameir Ali Mostly based on actual facts, L.A. Confidential tells the story of Hollywood in the 50's. Corruption and crimes are growing this time. Drug dealers, prostitutes and murders occupy L.A.Three cops of entirely different characters are coming forward to investigate on this, in their own style. One policeman is a straight, strict to the law person. Another one is very brutal, low tempered and tough person. And the last one of corrupt, who is doing dirty things for few bucks.Directed by Curtis Hanson and camera by Dante Spinotti. Technical side is amazing, by all aspects. Cast also did wonderful job. The characterization was so careful and well made. Each person has his own characteristics.One of the best crime dramas. A Must watch!#KiduMovie
