4. L.A. Confidential (1997)

Corruption runs hand in hand with law and enforcement. Such is the plot for this Curtis Hanson film. Desperate to regain their former reputation in the public’s eye, the LAPD tries to figure out the links between their officers and mob bosses.
Based on the timeline of the infamous ‘Bloody Christmas incident, this film clearly reflects the dark side of a privileged society that prefers to keep things hidden. We experience the rise of Edmund Exley, a career-oriented cop, as he unfolds truths that can seriously damage the reputation of the department.
