With the 133rd Overall pick The All Or Nuttin team is proud to select in the "Drama" category a movie that was robbed of the Best Picture Academy Award in 1997, but still managed to win 2 Oscars for Best screenplay and Best actress in a supporting role, starring Kevin Spacey, Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe, Kim Basinger, Danny DeVito, simply a great noir story, L.A. Confidential.



Set against the backdrop of the glitz, glamour, grit and noir of early 1950s Los Angeles the film revolves around three LAPD officers caught up in corruption, sex, lies, and murder following a multiple murder at the Nite Owl coffee shop.

Critically acclaimed, it presently holds a 99% "certified" fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes with 73 out of 74 reviews positive with an average rating of 8.5 out of 10, as well as an aggregated rating of 90 based on 28 reviews on Metacritic. To quote Roger Ebert, "L.A. Confidential is seductive and beautiful, cynical and twisted, and one of the best films of the year."
