"L.A. Confidential" Talkback (Spoilers)

[Lord Dalek]

Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush.



Bud White: "The Nite Owl case made you, do you want to tear that all down?"
Ed Exley: "With a wrecking ball, you want to help me swing it?"

Release Date: September 19, 1997
Studio: Warner Bros., New Regency
Director: Curtis Hanson
Aspect Ratio: 2.40:1 (Super 35)

Plot Summary: 1950's Los Angeles is the seedy backdrop for this intricate noir-ish tale of police corruption and Hollywood sleaze. Three very different cops are all after the truth, each in their own style: Ed Exley, the golden boy of the police force, willing to do almost anything to get ahead, except sell out; Bud White, ready to break the rules to seek justice, but barely able to keep his raging violence under control; and Jack Vincennes, always looking for celebrity and a quick buck until his conscience drives him to join Exley and White down the one-way path to find the truth behind the dark world of L.A. crime.
