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 modules and have different qualifications, but in the end they come together because of their respective cases and solve a big case where the team leader wants to take over the local underworld, but in the end, just as Kim Bassin Grid said, someone won the world, someone won the prostitute and the trip to Arizona. Pierce's character is to hope to catch those who killed his police father who was killed in the line of duty, and Russell Crowe's character is because his father domestically abused his mother and nearly starved himself to become a policeman. A policeman who is particularly sensitive to domestic violence, and Kevin Spacey's character can't remember why he wants to be a policeman. Although everyone has ideals, if you stick to them, you may not survive. And stick to justice, and you risk offending people. At the beginning, he taught the new Pierce a lesson, and he reported to his colleagues to become the team leader, but no one under him believed him. In the end, his justice came, but he also had some tacit deals with the Los Angeles Police Department.

L.A. Confidential, the name is very good, and it has a similar role to the "Absolute Confidential" newspaper in the movie, exposing scandals, and the newsman is to provide some key criminals to the Kevin Spacey (narcotics department) officer Vincent, and the police officer It provides him with some anti-drug information (for readers to find curiosity), and the transaction can be said to be ubiquitous in the whole movie, but it can be regarded as the word "secret".

In order to cover up the scandal that the team leader is going to become the leader of the underworld, and in order not to smear the image of the police department, in Pierce's character, Officer Ashley said that there is more than one hero, so that he does not tell the truth, so as to once again serve the police department The image of the more shining, this is Los Angeles, a dreamlike city.

A big city is always a hustle and bustle under an undercurrent.
