L.A. Confidential (1997) – Review

Set in Los Angeles, United States, during the 1950’s, L.A. Confidential follows three very different police officers who become increasingly caught up in a complex web of crime, corruption and overall scandal within the city’s police department. Detective Ed Exley (Guy Pearce), Officer Wendell White (Russell Crowe) and Sergeant Jack Vincennes (Kevin Spacey) each have their own methods and ambitions, but their paths quickly begin to cross as they investigate a series of mysterious events. A very stylish and well-made crime thriller that offers an intriguing look at a very different era of Los Angeles.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Drive (2011) – Review

An unnamed stunt driver (Ryan Gosling) spends his days working as a mechanic and driver in the movie world, while occasionally taking on jobs as a getaway driver for criminals in Los Angeles, United States. Living a relatively quiet life, he soon develops a friendship with his neighbour Irene (Carey Mulligan) and her young son, before becoming involved in a dangerous situation following the release of Irene’s husband from prison. Initially, he seems to have been pulled into a simple job, but this quickly snowballs into something far more serious. A memorable and equally as stylish crime thriller that has developed somewhat of a cult following. It’s worth noting that Drive is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
