Los Angeles in the 1950s was a city full of various "transactions", and people from all walks of life might come together driven by interests. Eddy, a young police academy graduate, is ambitiously trying to make his mark in the police world. All this is for a secret in his heart, that is, to find out the rape "Lulu Tumac" who shot and killed his father in the past; For this reason, he will not hesitate to sell his colleagues and superiors in order to obtain his own interests.
Soon, Ed was exceptionally promoted to sheriff due to his outstanding performance. Narcotics Detective Jack is known as a "police star". He and gossip news reporters embarrassed him, specializing in exposing the peachy news of Hollywood stars in order to earn generous extra money. At the same time, Jack is good at using the media to become famous, becoming the detective with the highest rate of reporting in the police station. Bud White is a true selfless police detective, but because of his upright and impulsive personality, he is often used by others.
The three police officers usually do not communicate with each other, but their fate is entangled because of a suspected collective murder in a restaurant. When they jointly launched an investigation, they were quickly involved in a web of pornography, drugs, murder, betrayal, corruption, and conspiracy. During this period, the three jointly discovered a secret: their director Dudley was related to the underworld. In the process of solving the case, both Edmund and Bird fell in love with the prostitute Lin who was implicated in the underworld. In this way, between love and law, justice and evil, several men launched a complicated struggle.
Dudley realized that his situation was getting more and more dangerous, so he began to implement a rigorous extermination plan. Faced with the killing of important witnesses one by one, Edmund thought of a reliable man—Hollywood West Sheriff, and asked him for help. At the Victory Hotel, Edmund, Bud finally exchanged fire with Dudley. After several rounds, Edmund was shot in his right arm and fell to the ground, and Bud was also shot. At this critical moment, Bud threw the dagger hard at Dudley.

    The retro style is just right, the popularity is just right, what a great script, and the three police officers with different personalities perform really well.

    The best-looking police movie I have seen so far, the plot characters are quite appetizing, the lines and scenes are very sophisticated, the characters are in black and white, the boundary between law and axiom is deliberately blurred, the characters are full of details, and the mystery is passed. To show the life of the official media, summarize: 1. This year's gangster legend is like a play house compared with this movie, 2. Why is the Titanic the best Oscar that year? No matter how you look at it, this film is strong

L.A. Confidential quotes

  • Ed Exley: Rollo Tomasi.

    Captain Dudley Smith: Who is he?

    Ed Exley: You are. You're the guy who gets away with it. Jack knew it, and so do I.

  • Ed Exley: During our investigation of events surrounding the Nite Owl case, Jack Vincennes, Bud White, and I learned the following.

    Ellis Loew: Your golden boy's throwing his whole life away.

    Ed Exley: The three Nite Owl suspects, while guilty of kidnapping and rape, were innocent of the multiple homicides at the Nite Owl. The actual gunmen were most likely Los Angeles Police Department officers Michael Breuning and William Carlisle, and a third man who may or may not have been Captain Dudley Smith. The objective: the elimination of another police officer, Richard Stensland, who, along with former LAPD officer Leland "Buzz" Meeks, also committed multiple homicides on behalf of Captain Smith and then betrayed him over twenty-five pounds of heroin, the retrieval of which was the ultimate motivation behind the Nite Owl killings. Beginning with the incarceration of Mickey Cohen, Captain Smith has been assuming control of organized crime in the city of Los Angeles. This includes the assassinations of an unknown number of Mickey Cohen lieutenants, the systematic blackmail of city officials, and the murders of Susan Lefferts, Pierce Patchett, Sid Hudgens, and Sergeant Jack Vincennes. Captain Smith admitted as much to me before I shot him at the Victory Motel.
