      L.A. Confidential--1997's a great cop movie

      It's a very good-looking movie. In 1997, there was such an awesome police and bandit movie, and it didn't win an Oscar for being such an awesome movie! Oh, it turns out it was the Titanic that year, so that's fine.

      The three male protagonists are playing together on the same stage, but they are all very good police officers with different...

      Covers a lot of elements, but it is very shocking

      Guy Pierce's words really sound like a perceptive political policeman. It takes a smart guy like him, and a gutsy guy like you. Are you 22 years old, why do you keep asking this? The 22-year-old can already be sentenced to death... When I told you about the death penalty, you didn't ask why, you've already put yourself a guilty sign. They want to take advantage of me, so why not take advantage of them. The script is really powerful. The three police officers are responsible for different...

      Cops w/o Integrity is the eternal main line of police and gangster films, and this film can be considered to have brought this main line to the extreme. Whether it can do anything in the face of special circumstances, Hollywood is spreading the values ​​of American imperialism to the world. PS: Eminem's Mom is pretty decent in the...

      In the end, Ed also finally became a good policeman like Bud. It was really cool to play with the three best actors, especially the bad Kevin Spacey, who smiled when he died. "Roro Tomma West" is really handsome. The process of the three policemen investigating the case is, to put it bluntly, the process of finding themselves back, and everyone finally got Nirvana. If the Godfather is the number one movie that men must watch, Los Angeles Confidential is the...
