L.A. Confidential plot
"Everything is suspect... Everyone is for sale... And nothing is what it seems."
Los Angeles, the 50s. Ed Exley (Guy Pearce) will do whatever it takes to move up the ranks, as long as it's done by the rules. Bud White (Russell Crowe) has his own rules, but has trouble controlling his anger. Jack Vincennes (Kevin Spacey) considers maintaining his contacts in Hollywood at least as important as police work. After a brutal shooting in a restaurant, these three agents of the corrupt police force try to find out the truth.
