CRITICS OF "L.a Confidential"

Florida Times-Union

It doesn't let up for a second, cramming James Ellroy's sprawling novel into a mere 98 minutes. That's both good and bad. The good? It's an exhilarating, breakneck ride. The bad? It's over far too soon.

Washington Post

There are so many things to enjoy here. Director Curtis Hanson... keeps a complex story coherent and absorbing -- if bloody at the end.

June 04, 2014

Resource

Christian Science Monitor

The story is so complicated that the movie can't quite make it clear, but the picture has impressive energy and high-intensity performances from Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, and Guy Pearce.

June 04, 2014

Resource

Orlando Sentinel

Spicy and boiling-hot, this sensational early-'50s crime drama is a morality play disguised as pulp fiction -- a sprawling saga of corruption and redemption set against a flashy West Coast backdrop.

Metro Times (Detroit, MI)

While not reaching the twisted heights of the superbly sinister Chinatown, L.A. Confidential is smart, complex and engrossing.

People Magazine

Like Chinatown before it, this twisted and twisting tale of cops, crime, corruption and hangers-on in 1950s Los Angeles artfully evokes the flip side of the City of Dreams.

June 04, 2014

Spokesman-Review (Washington)

The result is a powerful work of art. Seldom has a study of sleaze said more about what makes us all tick.

June 04, 2014

Philadelphia Daily News

L.A. Confidential is a satisfyingly plotted film with echoes of the 1974 classic Chinatown.

June 04, 2014

Minneapolis Star Tribune

Hanson has made the film noir setting virtually another starring character.

June 04, 2014

Chicago Tribune

L.A. Confidential is a movie bull's-eye: noir with an attitude, a thriller packing punches. It gives up its evil secrets with a smile.

June 04, 2014

Resource

New York Daily News

At the center of the movie are three mismatched cops with separately fueled ambitions, ferociously played by Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce. Their combined charisma almost smashes through the screen.

Philadelphia Inquirer

L.A. Confidential isn't quite up there with Chinatown, but it's the closest thing to come down the Santa Monica Freeway in the last 23 years.
