Please. If you want to run to imdb.com to check facts and then race back and try to patch them into context, that's up to you.

That movie was by NO means an under the radar film. I'm sorry, but my only answer is that anyone that thinks LA Confidential doesn't count as a Hollywood blockbuster is either naiive or too young to remember when it was at the theaters.

While Russell Crowe wasn't a top billing actor yet, he was definitely known at that point. And DeVito, Spacey and Basinger were the sells for that, especially since Spacey already had an Oscar by then.

This really isn't even worth the discussion. I don't know what to tell you if LA Confidential is what you're using as a basis for the intellectual film.
