Review of L.A. Confidential (1997) by Teddy V — 02 May 2012
Over-hyped pseudo noir featuring a great performance from Guy Pearce, as decent a performance from Russell Crowe as can be expected, a rather impotent performance from Kevin Spacey, and basically nothing but tits in tight dresses from Basinger, an actress that no one ever needs to see do anything.
She's just as worthless in this film as in any other she's ever made, and all I can think is that I wish she hadn't overcome her "agoraphobia" to start making movies again. This is certainly an entertaining film, but a real gritty crime noir it is not.
