L.A. Confidential

L.A. Confidential
As corruption grows in 1950s Los Angeles, three policemen - one strait-laced, one brutal, and one sleazy - investigate a series of murders with their own brand of justice.

One of my favourite films. Everyone turned in a great performance but I especially loved Russell Crowe as Bud White and Guy Pierce as Ed Exley though James Cromwell surprised me by seamlessly becoming the unexpected bad guy. Well worth a second or third watch. It’s a wonderful portrayal of Los Angeles in the 50s.
