Good movie the Blu-ray looks way better than the dvd

L.A. Confidential 20th anniversary edition blu ray Curtis Hanson and Brian Hegeland along with Dante Spinotti behind cameras adapted one of the best novels of James Ellroy to one of the finest Hollywood film of the nineties. Full of stars (Oscar winner Russell Crowe, wonderful David Strathairn, beautiful Kim Bassinger and many more) wonderful set pieces, mystery and romance this neo-noir pays homage to the best film of the best Hollywood genre: Film noir. Shot with a magnificent color palette L.A Confidential was recognized as one of the best shot film of Hollywood history by the American Society of cinematographers. This blu ray edition by Fox renders the film color with accurate respect. It’s a wonderful home video presentation, especially if you re thinking of upgrading your tv set to 4k and fears the wrinkles that show on Dvd. Also it could be found on good price. This blu ray offers a really great price-value ratio.

L.A. CONFIDENTIAL has all the trapping of a well directed film that was shot with that old Hollywood feel. It was like being taken back to more nostalgic times when everything in life was tailor made. Like the films of old I had the experience of seeing this one with a new set of eyes. I owned It on DVD but It pales in comparison to seeing the Blu-Ray version of it. Especially when you have a good 4K player and big screen that does a good job of upconverting the content. It was a great movie to see in the theater when first released in 1997 and a even more cinematic experience to enjoy at home present day. I'm loving these new releases and revamped versions of Blu-Ray & 4K movies. This with out a doubt should be in your top 100 If you're a collector.

What struck me the most is that, even though it's set in 1947, there's still the same problems we're facing today. Racism, bigotry, political corruption, media sensationalism, police brutality, sexual exploitation, you name it. I also had no idea that 1947 Los Angeles was such rich ground for storytelling until after I saw this movie. Between it, the game LA Noire, the second season of Agent Carter, and who knows what else, you'd almost expect to see these characters bump into one another. Also, a little trivia: there was a brief HBO TV-spinoff at one point, that would've followed Kevin Spacey's character, only he was played by Keifer Sutherland. They filmed a pilot, but it never went to series.

Guy Pierce, Russel Crowe, and Kevin Spacey are magnificent. If you like cops and robbers then this is the movie for you. The nostalgia, the pomp and circumstance are indicative of an era when men were men and dames were dames. Kim Basinger is wonderful and sexy as ever.

Picture quality on the blu ray disc is very good, considering the year that this transfer came out. Can't imagine anyone reading this review has not yet seen this film. But if not, and you're into great story telling with a solid cast, then pick this one up.

This is old movie I watched before. And it's still good. I like movie who raises awareness of government corruption. Good cop, Bad cop and someone who really sacrified their life for the good of people. Kim Bassinger is very smart, beautiful and good character.

L. A> Confidential is one of my favorite movies, with great performances by Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe and Kim Basinger. A crime caper like no other, with crooked cops all tangled up with the seedier elements of 1940s Hollywood.

Warner Home Video has announced the specs for the upcoming Blu-ray release of 'L.A. Confidential', due to hit store shelves on September 23rd, day-and-date with the DVD re-release. On this BD-25, video will be presented in 2.4:1 1080p VC-1 accompanied by a Dolby TrueHD soundtrack.

This movie is an instant classic. I put it up in the same class as Big Sleep and Maltese Falcon in terms of classic detective stories. Great cat and mouse tale. Cast is superb.

One of the best movies of the 90s filled with phenomenal writing, acting, and direction. A twisting story that should leave you completely satisfied by the end.

...and it's even better in Blu-Ray. Like a 1950s based John Wick, the LAPD goes around killing the masses of arses. I just love a happy movie.

This movie is about good cop vs bad cop against the system that has become corrupt using them like pawn pieces waiting to kill any one who finds out what's really going on Kim is really good in this movie great eye candy

Great story, great cast...and meticulously filmed to capture the flavor of 1940's Los Angeles. Wonderful book gloriously brought to the screen.

The plot is pure film noir joy. The story unfolds naturally, and then turns on a dime the way a proper pulp detective story should. The city of LA is another character, and the performances are all top notch.

This Blu-Ray Movie is the 20th Anniversary Edition of L.A. Confidential! Definitely worth the purchase and a superb price.

Had this on DVD and it looked very good but, when I got it on Blu-ray It looks superbe. Great transfer to Blu-ray.

This should be a classic film. The first time you watch you will be surprised by the many twists and turns. It is worth watching over an over even though you know what is coming.

Everything is top notch. Plot is quite cynical and reflects how hard Hollywood is on just about everybody.

I've seen it before but it is so goo that I had to buy it anyway...I will be watching it again and again.
