Curtis Hanson's film of James Ellroy's L.A. Confidential (Warner Home Video) is an outstanding piece of work; that rare Hollywood film that manages to be smart, entertaining and suspenseful all at the same time.
This is a stunningly written film (the screenplay is by Hanson and Brain Helgeland) with great twists, a brutal, atmospheric look at the L.A. of heroin kingpin Mickey Cohen; the L.A. where the police department, worried about their image with the public, have no idea of the nightmare they are about to face.
Crowe, Pearce, Spacey, Basinger (who won as Oscar for this film) and James Cromwell (as the detective chief) are all outstanding, and Hanson's direction is beautifully restrained and expressive.
