synopsis

A shooting at an all night diner is investigated by three LA policemen in their own unique ways. Curtis Hanson's adaptation of the James Ellroy best-seller is that rarest of modern Hollywood creations, a crime drama with the brains, sex appeal, humor, danger and action to satisfy all tastes. The best film about Los Angeles since "Chinatown."

quote

[White approaches Loew in the bathroom, after he refused to answer Exley's questions] Ellis Loew: Unless you came in here to wipe my ass, I believe we're through. [White looks at him, silently] Ellis Loew: Come on, don't try this "Good Cop-Bad Cop" crap on me. I practically invented it. So what if some homo actor is dead? Boys, girls, ten of them step off the bus to L.A. every day. [White proceeds to smash Loew's head into the mirror and then sticking it into the toilet] Ellis Loew: Pull him off me, Exley! Ed Exley: I don't know how. Bud White: Now, I know you think you're the A-number one hotshot. Well, here's the juice: if I take you out, there'll be ten more lawyers to take your place tomorrow. They just won't come on the bus, that's all! [White drags Loew into his office and dangles him out of the window by his legs until he confesses] Ed Exley: Was that how you used to run the "Good Cop-Bad Cop?"

Rating : 4
Early though it may be to make such a prediction, I'm going to do so: no one will be more deserving of an Adapted Screenplay Oscar in 1997 than Brian Helgeland and Curtis Hanson. James Ellroy's 1990 novel "L.A. Confidential" was 496 pages of sprawling, tangled plotting and a staccato prose style in which entire chapters seemed to fly by without a single verb rearing its active little head. Even the author himself said he didn't always know what was going on at any given time. Hanson and Helgeland took that narrative and tamed it into an intricate but accessible crime drama. They remained true to both the style and gritty substance of the story while giving it the appeal of pop entertainment.
