L.A is an out and out hardcore LAPD drama set in 1950's where crime ,deceit and corruption was at its peak in the city.
It resolves around an homicide at a coffee shop in downtown L.A and looks at the point of view of 3 LAPD officers in charge of the case.
Edmund Exley (played by Guy Pearce , a'la Memento fame)
*** Honest , Intelligent , Idealist.
Bud White ( played by vulnerable Russel Crowe)
*** Hotheaded, Obsessive , Violently Brutal
Jack Vincennes ( played by laid back Kevin Spacey) *** Nonchalant , Witty , Polished
The case & the plot is extremely interesting , with lot of suspense for the audience to cling to.
Everyone is a suspect here!!
In comes, Lynn ( played by irresistible Kim Basinger) , a Hollywood look alike artist who holds the key to the entire proceedings.
At varied intervals, the 3 men investigate the killings and circumstantial events which in turn begin to unravel indications of corruption all around them.
The performances are exemplary by the entire cast leading to an electrifying showdown in the end.
No surprises for it to bag nine Oscar nominations winning two out of those.
A superlative crime drama! Not to be missed!
Rating : 4.0/5.0
