L.A. Confidential (1997)
IMDB Rating: 8
Storyline:
1950’s Los Angeles is the seedy backdrop for this intricate noir-ish
tale of police corruption and Hollywood sleaze. Three very different
cops are all after the truth, each in their own style: Ed Exley, the
golden boy of the police force, willing to do almost anything to get
ahead, except sell out; Bud White, ready to break the rules to seek
justice, but barely able to keep his raging violence under control; and
Jack Vincennes, always looking for celebrity and a quick buck until his
conscience drives him to join Exley and White down the one-way path to
find the truth behind the dark world of L.A. crime.
