L.A. Confidential/洛城机密

Splendid work! I think this is an excellent example in connecting realistic themes and artistic plotting, besides the all-star cast offered a splendid performance.

The script is smart in telling a good story of "good cop, bad cop" and corruption inside. Moreover, it also includes almost all the political/social issues of the society. Although the ending part is kind of too Hollywood-style, it also does a good job.
