    Off the Record, on the QT

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 2, 2006

    Pros: Crime Conspiracy, Great Cast, Excellent Film

    Cons: Lengthy, Danny DeVito

    When I saw the preview for this movie, I thought it looked riddiculous. Boy, was I wrong. This is an awesome story of corruption in the 1950's LAPD. Russel Crowe and Guy Pearce were relative unknowns before their inclusion in this masterpiece. Fi...lled with twists and turns, conflicting alliances, and a complicated plot, "LA Confidential" is a must-see movie combination of crime, noir, and art. Kind of like "The Usual Suspects", except considerably more linear. Read more Less

    It's Bad Ass

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 17, 2003

    This movie is, in a word, awesome. It's got a good plot and solid performances by everyone. The score is top notch, and the costumes and seeting are so retro and so modern...it's wonderful. Stop reading, and go see it!

    Very good movie

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 7, 2003

    Ranks right up there with Casino, Goodfellas & Carlito's way, as good criminal dramas, except this one has to do with LAPD's finest back in the 1950s.

    One of the rare good

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 16, 2002

    This was the last movie where Russell Crowe was
    in role that suited him. Gladiator, Proof of
    Life and Beautiful Mind have been mistakes for
    this guy. Good direction, great screenplay,
    good actors and actresses... why did Titanic
    get the Oscar that year!?

    LA Confidential - A Modern Noir Classic!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 6, 2001

    What can I say? This film should have swept the Academy Awards! But a little film called Titanic sank its hopes. I'll bet more film critics and fans have rewatched LA Confidential than have rewatched Titanic. It's no contest, which is the better film.... I guess people just love the end of Titanic when the ship goes down. Well, the end of LA Confidential when the s**t goes down is much better than 5 or 6 Titanics. Don't be fooled by imitation Film Noir. This is the one right here. Run, don't walk, and get this film! A+++++++ Read more Less

    forget it jake, it's chinatown

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 19, 2001

    LA Confidential is easily the best mystery movie since Chinatown. If you liked "Chinatown" and worship it for the masterpiece that it is, then you will most likely enjoy this flick. Crowe is good, Spacey's good, DeVito's good as is everyone else in ...it. Should've won the oscar that year, not Titanic. Read more Less

    Good, but definitely not the best

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 12, 2000

    This movie is not so bad. But there is nothing
    there that deserves 5 stars. Spacey acts pretty good, but he's not the lead. And Crowe
    with Basinger have never been good actors.
    So, the movie is good but definitely doesn't deserve 5 stars.
