Today's Movie Review Monday is the fantastic neo-noir film L.A. Confidential. A gripping crime drama about three cops in 1950's L.A. who couldn't be more different from one another, but who end up unknowingly working the same case. Starring Kevin Spacey, Russel Crowe, and Guy Pierce this action thriller has a 99% positive rating on Rotton Tomatoes! Now that is saying something!

I honestly had never seen this film before, but it seemed right up my alley. The glamour of L.A. in the 1950s has a strong pull for me. I won't spoil any of the plot right now but I recommend seeing it. Let's get onto some visuals!

| Spacey plays a cop who among other things, is a high profile contributor for a TV show called Badge of Honor |
The good cop-bad cop routines are constantly rotated between these three depending on their situations. If you have never seen L.A. Confidential I highly recommend it. You can read more about the plot and the making of the film here:
