In a time when it seems that every other movie makes some claim to being a film noir, L.A. Confidential is the real thing--a gritty, sordid tale of sex, scandal, betrayal, and corruption of all sorts (police, political, press--and, of course, very personal) in 1940s Hollywood. The Oscar-winning screenplay is actually based on several titles in James Ellroy's series of chronological thriller novels (including the title volume, The Big Nowhere, and White Jazz)--a compelling blend of L.A. history and pulp fiction that has earned it comparisons to the greatest of all Technicolor noir films, Chinatown. Kim Basinger richly deserved her Supporting Actress Oscar for her portrayal of a conflicted femme fatale; unfortunately, her male costars are so uniformly fine that they may have canceled each other out with the Academy voters: Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kevin Spacey, and James Cromwell play LAPD officers of varying stripes. Pearce's character is a particularly intriguing study in Hollywood amorality and ambition, a strait-laced "hero" (and son of a departmental legend) whose career goals outweigh all other moral, ethical, and legal considerations. If he's a good guy, it's only because he sees it as the quickest route to a promotion. --Jim Emerson

An unnostalgic, modern noir spectacle.......2007-05-27

Curtis Hanson's "L.A. Confidential," based on the third book in a series by James Ellroy, works so well because, unlike most neo-noir films, it's not a homage to the noir films of old. In fact, it was probably the first true film noir to forget about its predecessors since the 1950s, the time period around which the film is set. And it was just what a film noir should be: gritty, tough, unflinching, intricrate, and confounding. Each of the film's leading actors, Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe, and Kevin Spacey, as well as its lead actress, Kim Basinger, felt like they could've appeared in a film noir straight out of the 1940s. It's this unnostalgic, straightforward approach that made "L.A. Confidential" so great.

The storyline had a classic vibe to it: in 1950s L.A., three cops ferret out the corruption beginning to eat away at the police force. How each of them does this differs. You've got your good cop, played by Guy Pearce, a strictly by-the-book wannabe detective and the son of a legendary officer who died in the line of duty. You got your bad cop, Russell Crowe, a violent star on the force, always on the edge and with a particularly nasty dislike for women abusers. Then you have a cop who doesn't quite know where he stands, played by Kevin Spacey, except on the set of TV's number-one hit police drama "Badge of Honor," which he supervises. One of the film's best scenes is when Pearce's character tells Spacey why he became a cop in an effort to convince Spacey to work with him. Afterwards he asks, "Why did you become a cop?" Spacey smiles sadly and sighs, "I don't remember." Picking a favorite of this police trio is hard, because each is perfectly cast: Pearce as an inherently contemptable and ultimately honorable goody-goody, Crowe as an apparent maniac who is smarter than he looks and just trying to do what's right, and Spacey as the pitiful once-cop who's lost his way.

But it seems like when most people remember "L.A. Confidential," they remember Kim Basinger, who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. She deserved it. Basinger played a prostitute in high demand because she bears a strong resemblance to Veronica Lake (so does Basinger) - but there's much more to her than just a divine appearance. Similarly, there's more to Basinger than just a fine body, and she proved it here with a surprisingly deep performance, particularly for a supporting role.

With all that said, it's apparent that the film garnered much of its power from its sharp-cut characters. There's no one who is clearly "good" the whole way through, but never once is a character in the grey: they're either good, or they're bad. They are also some of the most realistic and human people ever to appear in a film noir. The movie's script, by director Hanson and Brian Helgeland, finds a seamless balance between its characters and its story, and surprisingly holds very little of the snap, crackle n' pop dialog one expects in a film noir.
Jerry Goldsmith's score was the one homage the film allowed, with the same sort of morose brass you might expect in an old Bogey pic (and which distinctly recalls the same woeful trumpeting of Goldsmith's theme from Roman Polanski's own neo-noir, "Chinatown"). It was one of those elusive scores that adds life to each scene but also expands the film as a whole.

There's something about the look of the film that hangs in my mind. It may be the color scheme, which consists mostly of black but with the occasional surprise vibrance thrown in through a red or yellow. Or perhaps it's the lighting, a bright light that makes what's in front of us perfectly clear and a surrounding black mist that begs the question: what does it hide within its shadows? There is a scene in which Pearce's character pulls up in front of the Nite Owl bar. That scene brings to mind the painting "Nighthawks" by Edward Hopper (which inspired the look of Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner"). Hanson took a very stylistic approach in his directing of the film, and much of that showed through its dark visuals.

It wasn't all darkness, though. One of the film's most memorable scenes involved an attempted interrogation by Pearce and Spacey at a popular club late at night. They corner a mobster dating a girl they believe is a prostitute belonging to a popular company which advertises prostitutes who resemble celebrities, in this case Lana Turner. As Pearce begins throwing out insults at the mobster and especially at his date, we notice Kevin Spacey holding back laughter in the background. "A w---e who looks like Lana Turner is still a w---e," Pearce says. The "prostitute" tosses her drink in his face and he stands there, soaked and incredulous, as Spacey says, "That IS Lana Turner."

It came as little surprise that "L.A. Confidential" wasn't awarded the Oscar for Best Picture, but fortunately critics recognized it as one of the best films of 1997 and, more importantly, of the decade. It wasn't only one of the best films of the decade, but one of the best films ever made, a stylish, gritty, cynical yet realistic noir drama that didn't look back at the classics which inspired it. It didn't need to, because ten years later, we're still looking back at it.

the dvd came in a timely manner, packaged well and I have had no problems with the item. It seems to be in great condition.

Brilliantly Casted Film.......2007-03-09

Kevin Spacey proves that he is a great actor in this one, and he's not even the main character. Guy Pearce's come-out movie showed that he could stand up at the top with the best. Russell Crowe's part is great for him. Really the first movie I say him in, and you can see why he eventually one best actor in Gladiator. James Cromwell and Danny DeVito are perfectly cast in this film. If you like movies set in the 40s, 50s but with an edge with real life drama this is a great movie for you! Jerry Goldsmith's score is breathtakingly brilliant - he should have one the Oscar!

A thriller for people who normally don't like thrillers.......2007-03-09

Devotees of noir & period pieces probably will not be as pleased with this as will the rest of this, but Curtis Hanson apparently decided that putting together a coherent & well-crafted film was more important than remaining faithful to one particular genre or another. Aside from specific historical references (Bloody Christmas, for example), it is quite easy to forget that this is set in 1950's Los Angeles. One could regard this as a shortcoming (it is, nominally at least, supposed to be a period thriller) or as an asset (a really well-told story will trump all other details), depending on one's perspective.

In any case, Hanson and a top-notch cast works with a pretty complex plot and manages to keep all of the balls in the air. I always enjoy a movie where the audience figures out most of the twists before the characters do, because then we get to enjoy watching the unfolding of consequences of decisions made or avoided. Spacey, Crowe & Pearce manage to give us wonderfully ambivalent & complex characters, all of whom are far from being beyond reproach and continue to have some dubious motives right up to the film's conclusion. Personally, I always like a film that deliberately avoids a tidy ending and leaves the viewer knowing that, after the credits finish rolling, the other shoe will eventually have to drop.

I agree with others that Kim Basinger's breathy whispery performances is simply annoying & that she is woefully miscast in this role. Why she got an Oscar for this is almost as big a mystery as any portayed in this film. However, it is not a glaring flaw and is obscured by the stellar performances of the rest of the cast. Top notch from start to finish!

Unhistorical Murder Mystery.......2007-02-21

The film opens in 1950s Los Angeles and introduces the people in this story. There is a pot bust of two minor movie stars, well planned to provide headlines. Some men are arrested for assaulting two policemen, and many officers beat them as summary punishment. Photographs of this create a scandal. The meeting tells how the deal is done: some win, some lose, and justice is done. Standards will be upheld for the future. There are two gunmen who are bumping off Mickey Cohen's gang members. Then there is a slaughter of people at a late-night restaurant. A senseless killing or a planned rub-out?

The police investigate those connected to the people killed at the restaurant. Suspects are arrested, they have to get them to talk about what they did. Various methods are used. They get a lead and find another suspect. Detective White stops another criminal. Then the three suspects escape somehow. They are tracked down and a shoot-out finishes them off. "Shotgun Ed" wins an award for heroism. We see how a reformer politician can change his mind about a highway project. There is a plot to embarrass the D.A. by getting a young actor to meet him. When Detective Vincennes shows up he finds the young actor dead! Detective White follows up on Susan Lefferts and finds something in her Mom's basement. Exley and Vincennes investigate another case. Exley visits White's girlfriend and learns more about her. Vincennes makes an error in judgment, his last. Then pictures are given to White to enrage him. Exley does research on the murdered former cop Meeks who was found in the basement. Exley and White talk to the D.A. and get him to cooperate. Dudley Smith and Patchett may be in cahoots.

Someone calls Exley and White to arrange them to meet at a motel; this is a trap. [All those shots and no one to hear them?] The two detectives hold off their attackers. There is a final resolution to the conflicts at the ending. Exley tells the facts about the crimes, there will be another cover-up, and another award for Lt. Exley. A happy ending? Sensational action masks a weak story.

Scenes take place at night since outdoor scenes would show present-day LA. The film did not create the LA of 50 years earlier. It is loosely based on some real events from that era. One book about the "Black Dahlia Avenger" said newspapers and reporters cooperated in the 1940s, there would be no embarrassing pictures then. The ruling powers wanted new highways, no blackmail was needed. One anachronism was the powered garage door of Patchett. A real history book will give the facts about LA in that time, it would be better than fiction. Is the film better than the novel?

Fay Grim is Hal Hartley's version of the espionage thriller. Consequently, it's more peculiar than pulse-pounding, but that's what makes his films appealing--to those who appreciate their off-kilter rhythms, that is. In Hartley's world, dialogue is often delivered with a straight face, no matter how funny the line or farcical the situation. In Fay Grim, he picks up seven years after Henry Fool left off, but this time the writer/director shifts focus from novelist Henry (Thomas Jay Ryan) to his seemingly scattered wife, Fay (Parker Posey). Their son, Ned (Liam Aiken), is now in his teens, but Henry remains at large, and Fay's "garbage man poet" brother, Simon (James Urbaniak), remains in prison for aiding in his escape. Then two CIA operatives, Fulbright (Jeff Goldblum) and Fogg (Leo Fitzpatrick), inform her that Henry is dead, so Fay agrees to track down his complete set of diaries in exchange for Simon's freedom. Apparently, Henry's incoherent ramblings contain state secrets. Joining forces with stewardess Bebe (Elina Löwensohn), Fay travels from Queens to Paris to Istanbul to fulfill her mission. In the end, Fay Grim resembles Hartley's noir parody Amateur, which featured Löwensohn, more than Henry Fool. It has less to say about talent and celebrity and more about mystery and intrigue. For the filmmaker, it also represents an opportunity to reunite a strong ensemble and to recover, at least for the time being, from a string of disappointments, like No Such Thing and The Girl From Monday. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

I loved this movie. I can still not claim to have fully understood the conspiracies and counter-conspiracies, smokescreens etc, but I think that is the whole point.
I recommend this very much!

Everyone in this film did an awesome job acting the silly yet saavy roles. Great film and had a wild pace and lots of action and Hilarious facial expressions by Posey. Loved it:)

a sequel even better than the first.......2007-06-27

a gorgeous sequel to "henry fool", twists upon twists to the point of non-sense, and yet fully believable (in a "suspension of disbelief" kind of way :), another masterpiece by hal hartley. note: the most important actor in this film is parker posey, not jeff goldblum

Fay Grim and others.......2007-06-27

I ordered this in a batch of 9 items through Amazon. Amazon used and gave out the wrong shipping address for all of the items, although I gave my correct address when I placed the order. I have received nothing that I ordered. A couple of people have issued refunds, but most of them are just arguing with me. I have basically signed up for arguments with 9 separate vendors, all of whom blame me for this incident. I will never place an order through this site again.

Poorly Thought-Out Sequel That Damages Henry Fool.......2007-06-13

I absolutely loved HENRY FOOL, but I wish this film had never been made.

HENRY FOOL, taken on its own, tells the story of a lying, unscrupulous, but literate vagabond (Henry) who challenges the boundaries of friendship, loyalty, love, and redemption.

In its final scene, we see Henry desperately running toward the camera, but we are left not knowing whether he is fleeing responsibility or running back to his family to face his uncertain fate. A beautiful story, amazingly told.

However, FAY GRIM turns that story on its head.

We learn that Henry was not just a lying vagabond, but some kind of secret agent involved in countless international intrigues. Having fled to Europe, he is being sought by the CIA, the French secret service, and God knows who else because his collection of "Confessions" contains a secret code that reveals American military secrets or something.

The problem with this plot is that it does not align with HENRY FOOL.

Here's why: In HENRY FOOL, Henry is profoundly confident in his work of "Confessions" as profound literature.

He asks Simon to judge the work as literature, and is completely crushed when Simon deems the work unworthy of publication.

So instead of being a self-proclaimed genius who is actually a failure, FAY GRIM asks us to believe that Henry is an ACTUAL genius who consistently out-smarts the CIA a la James Bond or something.

But in HENRY FOOL, Henry breaks down and reveals that he wrote his "Confessions" while serving time for statutory rape. (Not exactly a James Bond-style adventure.)

So which Henry Fool is real? The charming, salacious liar or the devious secret agent from FAY GRIM?

What a mess.

If you're ever up late one night and you can't fall asleep, slip this yawner into your DVD player and you'll probably fall asleep after the opening credits.
This preponderously dull, hokey drama asserts that there is an ancient code that scientifically proves there's a God. Ho-hum; the action moves sluggishly and non-actor Jim Fitzpatrick and usually good ones such as Maria Conchita Alonso and David Warner walk through their roles obligatorily but it's all just one big bore.

If you read the book and you liked it, then this DVD is worth seeing.......2006-07-04

I am very surprised at the poor reviews. Yes this is a low budget documentary. But, this documentary sheds light on issues brought up in the book. It is great to actually see inside places like the Roslyn Chapel. I really is not about Da Vinci but the secrets within the book - Knights Templar, Mary Magdelene, etc. I found this DVD fascinating and informative just after reading the book.

A waste of time and money.......2006-03-29

One star is generous. This "documentary" is intellectual and historical bunk. British accents do not create credibility in a film that has less than a late night infomercial. Don't waste the money. I've already wasted enough time (and I've yet to affix the merchandise return label).

Worthless.......2005-12-13

About the only thing you'll find out from watching this so called documentary is that "La Gioconda", also known as the "Mona Lisa", and Leonardo DaVinci's name can all be decoded to add up to the number 84.

What's the significance of that? The documentary doesn't tell you. After this revelation, it veers off into some unfocused side story about some monk in France who built a shrine to Mary Magdalene, a story about the gnostics, and some supposedly secret societies formed around the holy grail.

If you know about the DaVinci Code, you know it has to do with an alternate telling of the Bible, and pretty much dispels most of what the catholic church has supposedly stood for all these centuries, etc. The main argument is that Mary Magdalene was Jesus' girlfriend, had relations with him, and that we're all descendants of Jesus, blah, blah, blah.

Whether you believe in this alternate theory or not is up to you, but don't look for this documentary to reveal any correlation to any supposed "code" DaVinci lived by.

Mainly just another capitalizing wanabe.......2005-11-29

This "documentary" is another one of the groups trying to capitalize on the success of Dan Brown's The Davinci Code. If any of these are serious about their topic I really hope they keep in mind that the book is in the fiction section. Though sometimes more has been made about the research Dan Brown has done then should be noted, the fact is it is a story even if there are some ideas derived from legend. Legends are generally not real either and many have nothing based in reality.

Before you get all tied up into the cover-up conspiracy of the church you should watch and read about the historical evidence from real scholars. Do yourself a favour and watch The God Who Wasn't There" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CAPZBC/002-1128172-2217665) and then the whole DaVinci's Code will seem irrelevant.

If you still love the whole DaVinci's Code mystery then there are other dvds that are better done.

View the review, not the movie.......2005-04-22

As the overly loud background music begins slightly, to fade out, the camera rests on a large jowled, older professor type of a man with a fake sounding English accent. This, the opening scene of Unlocking Da Vinci's Code, a "documentary" by Ventura studios, is the most realistic shot of the film. From bad reenactments to worse research, the film is unreliable and sadly, still on the shelves. Touted as a "behind the scenes" look at Da Vinci's artworks, the bust of a film plays off of the recent success of the novel The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown. Spending only 15 minutes out of an hour long film discussing Da Vinci, the poorly plotted "exploratory" and "revolutionary" movie is a waste of space and worth no stars, on a five star rating.
The experts called on within this film were dreadfully inadequate. For the beginning half, the only commentaries by "experts in the field" were from the co-authors of The Templar Revelation. Now, as a whole, authors are not a bad group. These ones even had a realistic sounding English accent! But as the "facts" behind Da Vinci are revealed, one wishes for more than a solitary source. Later, as more experts are interviewed, the credibility increases. Until one realizes that these "experts" in Christian history are professors of such colleges as Western Michigan University, and Canislus College. Where were all of the professors of well-known colleges? Were they too busy with real documentaries to participate in a backyard film?
The rambling subject matter also leaves much to be desired. Introduced as a film on Da Vinci's secret messages, an enthralling subject for those interested, the only time past the first 15 minutes Da Vinci was discussed was in the second to last sentence of the movie. Worse than a middle school history presentation, this professional and "factual" documentary has no coherent thesis or connection throughout. After discussing the Knights Templar, with the helpful two experts, the narrator moves on to a hardly known topic of the Cathars, apparently a Gnostic branch of the Christian church. Barely relating the two secretive and outlawed sections of the Church, the plotline moves on to the history of the Bible. Now, Da Vinci did have some beef with Christianity, and Catholicism as a whole. But how did Da Vinci, born 1500 years later, influence the writing of the Bible? Not content with this distant connection, narration takes us to the finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which apparently were the source of Da Vinci's mysterious and enigmatic paintings. Unless Da Vinci had a time machine, which he might have, the movie failed to cover any of his inventions, it would have been impossible for Da Vinci to gain inspiration from the collection of scrolls found in 1947, almost 500 years after Da Vinci's death.
Beside the total lack of connection between scenes, the worst part of the film would have been the reenactments. For around 20 parts in the scenes, there were a grand total of 5 actors. There were 3 different sets for the entire movie, which had several different scenes. The pope and the Egyptian were played by the same person, utterly confusing a typical viewer. The Egyptian discoverers of the Dead Sea Scrolls were apparently quite fluent in English for camel herders. The staged and awful "fight" scenes were played with swords made of aluminum foil or plastic.
I recommend this movie only to my least favorite person and that only if he or she seriously annoys me. Do not watch this and become convinced of the "truths" that were told. Although some were true, it was from The Da Vinci Code that these screenwriters gleaned all of their ideas. The movie was a waste of an hour and not worth even this lengthy review.

An software encrytption company is being investigated by a shadowy government anti-terrorist agency over it's acquisition of an age-old secret "code" that unlocks the secret's of humanity's future which is encoded into the Hebrew bible. The acting is excellent, with Jim Fitzpatrick doing a great job as the head of the company battling the ruthless government agency. The pacing is good, and look of the film is enhanced by the backdrop of Florida and Bahamian locales.

Timely and well done.......2004-03-12

This story really makes you think. It involves a shadowy government anti-terrorist department with unlimited powers investigating a private company in the encryption business. It points out the dangers of too much government power in this area. It is well-acted by David Warner, and the locales (Florida and Bahamas) provide a lush backdrop.
