This film is powerful. It's main theme is justice and how that might be worked out in the 1950's L.A. police force. The stories three main characters are all police officers and each has there own reasons for being, and style of "fighting" crime. The question of the film is whether the truth will win out in the end or will the bureaucracy and the crime have the last laugh. It is a well done whodunit and the acting is superb (Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kim Basinger, and Kevin Spacey). I can't believe that it took me this long to see this film.

Fantastic movie. It's based off of the book of the same name by James Ellroy, who is one of my favorite authors. I'd recommend him, but know that you need a strong stomach to read his works. Take every "hard" aspect of the movie and multiply it by a million. Still, he's an amazing author.
