"I admire you as a policeman, particularly your adherence to violence as a necessary adjunct to the job."
— Capt. Dudley Smith (James Cromwell) to Bud White (Russell Crowe) "There's blood on your shirt. Is that an integral part of your job?" — Lynn Bracken (Kim Basinger) to Bud White "Yeah." — Bud White "Do you enjoy it?" — Lynn Bracken "When they deserve it." — Bud White "Did they deserve it today?" — Lynn Bracken "I'm not sure." — Bud White "Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush." — Sid Hudgens (Danny De Vito) DescriptionDirector Curtis Hanson captures the duality of 1950s Los Angeles in this striking film noir adaptation of James Ellroy's novel. The City of Angels might be sunny, inviting, and glamorous to the rest of the world, but it's also filled with corrupt cops, elegant hookers, murder cover-ups, and manipulative paparazzi, all of which are just the tip of the iceberg. It's impossible to know exactly who's trustworthy and who's not as three detectives (Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, and Guy Pearce) each use their own tactics to investigate a coffee-shop massacre. The script by Hanson and Brian Helgeland maintains the fragile framework of human relationships developed in the novel, while 45 different shooting locations give the film a solidly unique tone and feeling of integrity, immersing the viewer in 1950s Los Angeles. The entire cast is first-rate, with compelling performances from Spacey, Crowe, Pearce, James Cromwell, Danny DeVito, Kim Basinger, and David Strathairn. |
