Overview

Based on the best-selling novel by James Ellroy and directed by Curtis Hanson, this award-winning crime drama explores both the dark side of the Los Angeles police force and Southern California's criminal underbelly in the early '50s, when Hollywood was still seen as America's capital of sophistication, glitter, and glamour. Dudley Smith James Cromwell is the head of the LAPD and is loyal to his officers and eager to turn a blind eye to violence or corruption within his department, as long as it's the "bad guys" who are getting hurt. Bud White Russell Crowe is a police detective whose violent and cynical nature is often at war with his basic sense of decency and justice. Ed Exley Guy Pearce is a beat cop-turned-detective

Overview

Based on the best-selling novel by James Ellroy and directed by Curtis Hanson, this award-winning crime drama explores both the dark side of the Los Angeles police force and Southern California's criminal underbelly in the early '50s, when Hollywood was still seen as America's capital of sophistication, glitter, and glamour. Dudley Smith James Cromwell is the head of the LAPD and is loyal to his officers and eager to turn a blind eye to violence or corruption within his department, as long as it's the "bad guys" who are getting hurt. Bud White Russell Crowe is a police detective whose violent and cynical nature is often at war with his basic sense of decency and justice. Ed Exley Guy Pearce is a beat cop-turned-detective whose strict by-the-book philosophy and willingness to blow the whistle on other officers is balanced by a shrewd and opportunistic understanding of the internal politics of the department. And Jack Vincennes Kevin Spacey is a flashy "Hollywood" detective who serves as technical advisor for the TV series Badge of Honor. He is also in cahoots with Sid Hudgeons Danny DeVito, publisher of the scandal sheet Hush Hush, who throws kickbacks to Vincennes in exchange for being brought along when showbiz figures get busted. White, Exley, and Vincennes find themselves drawn into a tangled and sticky web of violence and betrayal following a multiple murder at a coffee shop that is believed to be part of an effort by Mickey Cohen Paul Guilfoyle to consolidate his hold on organized crime in L.A. This lead appears to be connected to the discovery of a bizarre pornography and call-girl ring operated by Pierce Patchett David Strathairn, whose women are given plastic surgery so that they more closely resemble well-known movie stars. White's role in the investigation is complicated when he falls for Lynn Bracken Kim Basinger, one of Patchett's prostitutes, who is the spitting image of Veronica Lake. L.A. Confidential was nominated for nine Academy Awards and netted two, with Brian Helgeland honored for Best Adapted Screenplay, and Kim Basinger taking home a statuette as Best Supporting Actress. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    one of the best movies I've ever seen!

    The original " L.A. Confidential" DVD was the very first DVD I ever purchased. I am very happy to know that finally, after all these years, a " special edition" of this movie is on the way! This film was the closest thing to " perfect" in terms of the casting, the scriptwriting, and the settings. After 10 years, it still bugs me that " Titanic" won Best Picture instead of " L.A. Confidential" . Can't wait to see all the extra features!

    Wonderful!

    This movie was a thrilling change from the pointless and inane crime movies Hollywood seems to relish in churning out. It was brilliantly cast and the sets and costumes were fantastic. But if you're going to buy this movie make sure to buy a copy with the commentary at the end. That was the best part, because James Ellroy, the writer of the book this movie is based on, was interviewed. He was hilariously full of himself and so pompous I thought he was going to explode! After seeing what a great movie it was, and listening to him go on and on about himself, I had to go read the book. The book stunk. This is one of those rare times when a stellar movie is made from an uninspired toilet-read. So, my advice is to watch the movie and skip the book.
