I walked out midway through L.A. Confidential, contrived tripe, and
it was a dollar movie! Two others I wished I'd walked out on were
Lost Highway (too confusing) and Eyes Wide Shut (no payoff). They
all sucked. - AH

.. was quite predictable, IMHO. They telegraphed everything. It was basicly a walk through which every actor phoned in.

Wow! L.A. Confidential, Lost Highway, and Eyes Wide Shut are absolutely brilliant films! Granted, the latter two are extremely complex and might cause boredom to set in among some (most?) people. Perhaps it's best to stick with Bruckheimer and Cameron films.

...(I had forgotten!) put me to sleep! LA Confidential, I thought, was OK except that I had already read the Ellroy original (a friggin' noir masterpiece), always a mistake.

Don't understand walking out on LA Confidential however, I do with the other three.

  something subliminally irritating hit me midway thru Confidential,
  what was it? I think it may have had something to do with the
  writing, or it may have been that I just got bored, lost my patience
  and walked out, after all, I only paid a buck to see it. Admittedly,
  this may have been an idiosyncratic response. Perhaps the word
  "sucked" was a little strong; however, I get a little tired of some
  of the hackneyed bullsh*t churned out by some of the HorrorWood
  hack writers. I don't like cheap emotional manipulation, but upon
  closer analysis, Confidential may be better than I think. Maybe
  oneday I will view it in a more objective state-of-mind. - AH
