l.a. confidential (1997)

Jack's visit to Captain Smith - this is such an incredible death scene. I was not expecting it to happen. He didn't even get to drink his cup of tea - you have no idea it's coming. And then Rollo Tamasi. Perfect. Spacey does a great job of dying onscreen - and Hanson held the shot for a very long time. I loved it.

Shootout at the Victory Motel - Of course, it had to come down to these two - Exley and Smith. And, of course, Exley had to finally show that he could answer yes to those questions Smith was asking him - it's perfect to have Exley shoot him while he is unarmed and walking away from him.
