It had been a long time since I had watched my copy of this one, but I always liked L.A. Confidential despite a couple of gripes. Anyway, here we go:
***SPOILERS***
Story Editing:
Most of the cuts I didn’t even notice, and the rest I didn’t miss at all (the extra love scenes, mainly). Not much was changed story-wise, though. I love the new ending. I really thought it was lame that Bud survived that shootout and that Lynn went back to him after he hit her. I’m glad that’s no longer here. Your edit ends right when it should and fits with the tone of the rest of the film.
Score: 9 out of 10.
Video Editing/Quality:
No issues in your cuts at all. I did notice a little glitch in the quality once or twice when watching it, but nothing major.
Score: 9 out of 10
Audio Editing/Quality:
Your transitions were nicely done and I never noticed any mistakes. Everything sounded good to me.
Score: 10 out of 10
Great idea, perfect execution of the edits, even though they weren’t very drastic. I enjoyed this more than the original.
Final Score: 9 out of 10
