Written by J Michael Stracynski, plumbing the same vein of LA corruption that underpins Chinatown.
Angelina Jolie (opinions differ in this household, though she was nominated), Michael Kelly (good as a rather unsympathetic detective), John Malkovich, Jeffrey Donovan (good as crap and corrupt Captain), Jason Butler Harner (good as psycho).
Stunningly shot by Tom Stern (nominated) with a few nods to his ex-boss Conrad Hall, e.g. subtly lit backgrounds, great confession scene against shifting rain pattern.
Has a great momentum no doubt partly attributable to editing of Joel Cox and Gary Roach. Clint has written the music too.
