LA Confidential

Jasmine Fagg
LA Confidential is a 1997 neo-noir film based on the James
Elroy 1990 novel. It tells the story of a group of LAPD
officers in 1953 who all go seeking the truth each in their
own style. This film portrays the police force as very
corrupt as a lot of the cops have no problem breaking the
law to cover their own backs.
Lynn Bracken played by Kim
Basinger conforms to the femme
fetale convention of a noir film
as she is blond, attractive and
she uses he looks to seduce on
of the male leads.
Picture here are the main characters in
the story who go about their jobs in the
police force in very different ways. Bud
White has a very violent approach while
Ed Exley is more strait-laced. Jack
vincennes is only in it for the fame so his
approach is quite sleezy but the captain is
the most corrupt which froces the others
to team up and work to bring him down.
