All comments linking L.A. Confidential to film noir are absolutely valid. Nevertheless, I don't love this movie because of what it compares to - it's a milestone of cinema that stands on its own two feet. There is no superfluous scene, no useless dialog that distracts from the plot, nothing showy to cover up deficits. There are no deficits. The acting, music, cinematography, and plotline are accompanied by an irony and tragedy that makes the characters feel like much more than figures crammed into a film noir mold. Just one example: the montage accompanying Hush-Hush magazine's coverage of L.A.'s crime and corruption illustrates the bitter parallel to the glossy snapshots of glamor we think of when we hear 'Hollywood'. If you want an intelligent, complex crime story, and can handle the sight of blood, this film is for you!
