Director Curtis Hanson ably captures the shadows and sunshine of 1950s Los Angeles in this adaptation of James Ellroy's novel by the same name. Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kim Basinger and James Cromwell all turn in great performances in this brutally violent, complicated cop opera full of double-and-triple-crosses, gunplay, sex and deceptions. You won't forget "L.A. Confidential," but what you'll see is "off the record, on the QT and very hush-hush."

Expert Review:
Kim Basinger won the Oscar for her portrayal of a call-girl in this devastating police-corruption drama, set in 1950s Hollywood. The script, co-written by director Curtis Hanson and Brian Helgeland from a James Ellroy novel, also snared the gold statuette. Co-starring with Basinger are: Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, David Strathairn and Danny DeVito. A first-rate depiction of sun-baked sleaze. By Jacqueline Fitzgerald of Film Noir Blonde
