L.A. Confidential Movie Review

L.A. Confidential is a 1997 crime drama that is very, very good.

So, the other day I saw L.A. Confidential and I was throughly impressed by this film. The actings is superb, the scenes are shot beautifully, and the story itself is highly engrossing.
L.A. Confidential follows three detectives that don't necessarily get along, but to solve a murder case, they must pull their talents together. Detective Jack Vincennes (Kevin Spacey) is the guy that likes to be in the limelight of things, he helps consult of tv shows. Detective Bud White (Russell Crowe) is the strong man of the three, and he has a certain affinity for protecting women. Then there is Detective Ed Exley (Guy Pearce) who is the straight shooter of the group and is the one that is most recently promoted to detective. Together, they discover things that they wish they didn't come across, but they know that they must face them, head on.
Alright, every actor in this film has done an outstanding job, and I applaud each and every one of them. This movie truly had an all star cast, and boy do they deliver. Each main character is unique enough, but still there interactions are perfect.
I don't know if you've seen L.A. Confidential yet, but if you haven't, this is a must see film! If you have any liking towards crime films, then L.A. Confidential is a must see!

final score: 4/5

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The ...
