Terrific storytelling brought to life by a collection of inspired performances makes L.A. Confidential an absolute winner.

Always heard great things about this one and now I finally confirmed it myself. L.A. Confidential is excellent! An absolutely terrific thriller!

Great direction, great dialogues, great and very intriguing story with very good twists and turns.
The performances are outstanding by all of the amazing cast but I have to do a special mention to Kevin Spacey, he is such a good actor! I love to see him perform. He is so powerful, he doesn't even need to speak to spread his charm! I wish we could see him in more films nowadays.

If this film is not perfect I am sure that is very close to that.

A thoroughly competent, but ultimately flavorless film. The acting is solid, the story is well-paced, and the major characters have defined arcs, but it's all executed in such a generic, perfunctory manner that the entire thing left me cold. The cheesy dialogue and generic archetype characters certainly set the film back, but at the end of the day it's a very solid film that never rises above being solid. It's pablum. The pablum is well-done and it's all technically sound, but it's also tremendously uninspired, checking the boxes for a prestige picture without adding anything new or interesting to the standard tropes it employs. Quite a disappointment for a film I was really looking forward to watching.

Hollywood loves movies about Hollywood, but this one was particularly enjoyable as the Aussies won out...except for Simon Baker. Shock and intrigue, but why did she sleep with Ed?!

LA Confidential starts off pretty slow, but gets better with the minute. The first half hour I kept mixing up names and places and didn't really get where the story was going. But after a while it picked up speed, the characters developed, the 'plot thickened' (as they say), and through all kinds of side-stories and personal quests it was slowly revealed where the story was headed to end with a bang.

The story itself is pretty decent, but has been done (many times) before. The good stuff about this film is the film noir crime feeling, which really adds to the suspense. The best stuff about this film is the amazing acting by almost the entire cast; they managed to give so much personality to their individual characters that they really lifted this film from mediocre to great!

Awesome cast and a great story, but not as surprising as I’d hoped. You can see everything coming from a mile away. Still very enjoyable! Whole thing gave me L.A. Noire vibes too, which is a big plus in my book.

I have zero comprehension of the [spoiler]Lynn / Ed[/spoiler] relationship and the ending scene.

The last third of the movie is much more poorly written than earlier sequences – it's like the writers felt an overbearing urgency to get to any kind of conclusion because of how little playtime they had left to do so.

Good movie, but not more. the acting is ok, but the story left me cold. I aspect a little bit more after all these praiseful reviews.

The story is perfectly fine, but when you’re trying to make a serious piece of drama, you might not want to fill it with characters that feel like they’ve been ripped out of a sit-com (everyone is extremely one note) and a lot of dumb movie logic. In other words, this really should’ve taken itself way less seriously.

4/10

Russell crowe's character was totally flipped in the end,
he was supposed to understand his woman instead he did the very thing he opposed the whole time.

Some of the parts were unnecessarily developed to increase length.

Started interesting but not really sure what I am suppose to get from this movie. Story is predictable, acting was nice, characters are pretty standard. There are somethings that don’t make sense and repeated interactions that don’t add to the story.

I find Exley's interactions with Lynn Bracken really jarring to the point of taking me out of the movie. Some stuff made absolutely no sense for Exley's character. Otherwise quite solid.
