L.A. Confidential
L.A. Confidential is modern film noir. It is a visually beautiful film, set in 1950’s Los Angeles. The story begins with the investigation of a multiple homicide at the Nite Owl coffee shop. From there it takes off on a trail full of twists and turns, corruption and vice. You get a picture of L.A.’s past and plenty of pulp fiction with characters that are complex and damaged. This movie does not disappoint.
It’s been a while since I watched this one! I might have to hunt it out again! 🙂
