L.A. CONFIDENTIAL (1997 USA)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì

L.A. Confidential—WOW entertainment for the police story fan—runs along a mature audience theme with strong 1950s movie correlations. Great acting, portrayal, and script move this film into a class of its own. This is a great watch.
