Modern film noir at its finest!
Los Angeles in the 1950s is the setting for this amazing film which probably should've won Best Picture in 1997 (although I love Titanic also).

When new cop Ed Exley comes comes to the force, he is immediately greeted with corruption and some hard choices which test his loyalty and willingness to stand to his principles. A murder investigation quickly ensues which potentially pit cop against cop and uncovers the seedy underbelly of Hollywood during that time and everyone looking out for themselves.

Another brazen cop, sticks up for battered women while another enjoys being the technical adviser for everyone's favorite television program at the time.



The 3 men have various run in with each other as their investigation seems to conclude with a resolution, but one or more of them are not convinced the solution is correct and that the real perpetrators are still at large.

The depth of this film as well as the smart, complex characters are really what makes this film work. The acting is all exceptional as is the screenplay.

Any aspiring screenwriter should watch this film as a class as to what to do and how to write.

Very highly recommended.
