This crime story is set in Hollywood in the 1950s and features police detectives Jack Vincennes and Bud White (Kevin Spacey and Russell Crowe) whose ethical behavior is definitely suspect. Then there is Ed Exley (Guy Pearce) who is a "strictly by the book" cop despite the fact that his captain, Dudley Smith (James Cromwell), tries to get him to relax his morals. In this atmosphere, crimes are investigated, but it is not always the guilty who pay. This film, based on James Ellroy's novel, is one of the year's best. Two Oscars were received, including Best Supporting Actress (Kim Basinger for her role as call-girl Lynn Bracken); seven other nominations were received, including Best Picture and Director.
