She’s a literal whore, for all he knows guy just hired her

Titanic killed 1997 for other films

Generic

Anyone think it's weird Minority Report ripped this off so blatantly?

It's one of the greatest films I've ever seen. All the performances are completely perfect from Byrne to Cromwell

pretty much user or else I’ve hurt a lot of girls

this is basically the plot of Tangerine also

One of my favorite movies of all time.

Pierce Patchett is a powerful behind-the-scenes strange-o.

*BANG*

Spacey kicking in the door casually holding his pistol saying “Freeze it’s the police” in his stupid high-waisted 50s pants and suspenders is unadulterated kino

I.......molest pre-teen twinks at seedy Hollywood parties.......urgh

Worst attempt at an Irish accent in the history of cinema?

Cromwell is one of the most comfy actors to watch.

It because people would rather pine over the old movies from the 40's LA Confidential tried to lanpshade with actual movie stars like Veronica Lake instead of Kim Basinger doing a piss poor impression

its cause she looks better than veronica lake

Just looked up the real one, I thought Basinger looked ugly but god damn

All these “famous” and “beautiful” pre-80s movie stars are fucking hideous and just disguised behind black and white and potato resolution

Are there ANY that we’re actually beautiful?

I was 18 when this came out and thought it was kino. Ended up reading every James Ellroy book and obsessing over every film and televison adaptation. Wish Kevin Spacey was in it more.

Too bad Black Dahlia didnt work out

It's almost for the best.

could you imagine them making a movie like this today? huge cast huge budget no special effects rated R. i can hardly believe they made it even back then

It's good, and objectively well made with a great cast, but there's no real emotional pull. Doomed to obscurity like a lot of well made films.

Can you name any similar films? Looking for the somewhat obscure/hidden gems

Yes I know that this Hollywood movie is in no way obscure but like I said in OP I’d never really heard of it

Is it really that bad? I'm craving some neo-noir and I've already seen the essentials.

this movie kinda sucks. you should watch china town instead.

Thanks user, I will

its not bad, its just not good either, films a mess

yea this

Chinatown

Angel Heart has a supernatural twist but is similar in tone and production value, but is a very good film in itself. Same goes for The Ninth Gate but it felt a little cheesy at times.
