L.A. Confidential

(1997)Directed by Curtis Hanson138 min · RCrime, Mystery, Thriller
Everything is suspect... Everyone is for sale... And nothing is what it seems.

Three LAPD detectives in 1953 Los Angeles chase the same unsolved murders from different angles. Jack Vincennes (Kevin Spacey) sells gossip to tabloids, Bud White (Russell Crowe) works on instinct, and Ed Exley (Guy Pearce) plays by the book. As the case deepens, they discover that the police brass itself may be orchestrating the crimes they're meant to solve.
