Get your clamshells on, you want to be wise to this tango. I'm talking L.A. CONFIDENTIAL. Dicks. Dames. The putrid smell of death under the porch of a sunny California bungalow. It's all here from the James Ellroy yarn. Guy Pearce and Russell Crowe flickering onscreen, Curtis Hanson behind the lens, it's gangbusters, kid.
