L.A. Confidential – a brilliant film
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2021Verified Purchase
I bought the DVD after reading it was Russell Crowe’s major Hollywood starring breakthrough; he certainly played a powerful role. L.A. Confidential is a complex and fast moving story about the brutality and corruption of L.A. cops and senior police officials. In many respects the film’s story is true to reality, but naturally, officials would angrily refute the claim. They always do. Nevertheless, to validate the brilliance of the film after 18 years from its release, the United States Library of Congress selected L.A. Confidential for preservation in the National Film Registry as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." No doubt many officials, including members of Congress, considered that the film was in part factual and therefore worth preserving for historical reasons.

OK. Reminiscent of Polanski's 'Chinatown'
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2019Verified Purchase
This period film set in 1950s Los Angeles, featuring criminal activities, is reminiscent of Roman Polanski's 'Chinatown', although set a couple of decades later. Those who like either film, and some people like them a lot, will probably like both. I find them OK but not compelling, with Chinatown the better of the two.
LA Confidential has an ensemble cast including Kevin Spacey who is currently among those in disgrace in Hollywood for alleged unwanted sexual groping, in his case of boys. His performance here is, like the film itself, perfectly good, but not a must see.

One of the Best Films Ever Made.

Have had this film on ye olde VHS tape. Decided to get it on DVD, special edition version. If you haven't seen this fim you have not seen, Crowe, Pearce, Spcacy, Devito at their best and not to metnion Oscar Award Winning peformance from Bassinger. Coruption, politics, sex and sin make LA Confidential one of the best films of all time.

Timeless Classic!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 March 2014Verified Purchase
When a film is referred to as being 'timeless', it has nothing to do with the quality of the special effects, or the length, or the company that made it (Disney seems to refer to every one of its movies as a 'classic' - really? Have you seen Cars 2?!). No, what it has to do with, is story, script, direction and performance. If you've got those things right, the movie will live forever. Look at the 1950's War of the Worlds or the Time Machine - sure the effects are a bit creaky, but boy, how much better are they than their modern remakes? Look at The Maltese Falcon, or The Third Man, yeah, they are black and white, but so what? Both of those films have story and style to burn. And so we come to LA Confidential. A movie that is set in the fifties, has the wonderful feel of a 1970's detective thriller, a great modern sheen, fantastic actors, a scorching script and assured direction. What more could you possibly want? This movie is already about 17 or 18 years old. The greatness of it is that it feels like it could have been made yesterday, or have been magically transported through a black-hole from the 1950's, it lives and breathes it so well. I could have written this review a long time ago, but I 've only obtained the Blu-Ray recently, and seeing it as crisp and clear and watching the superb special features (commentary, documentaries, etc), I just HAD to write this. Timeless, indeed.

An outstanding masterpiece.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 April 2016Verified Purchase
L.A. Confidential gets a welcome blu-ray visual upgrade that's light years ahead of the fuzzy 1998 DVD. Great colours and a superb Dolby TrueHD audio track compliment this extras packed blu-ray. I adore here how director/co-writer/producer Curtis Hanson paints this entire tapestry very subtly, showing the terrible realisation in Guy Pearce's ( Ed Exley) expression, or when jaded and haunted Jack Vincennes ( Kevin Spacey) can't remember why he became a cop. Kim Basinger ( Lynn Bracken) is the intelligent yet vulnerable heart of L.A. Confidential and in the extras, she's as much in love with the film, the characters, including Bud White ( Russell Crowe) as we are.
