L.A. Confidential. Jerry Goldsmith

1950's Los Angeles is the seedy backdrop for this intricate noir-ish tale of police corruption and Hollywood sleaze. Three very different cops are all after the truth, each in their own style: Ed Exley (Guy Pierce), the golden boy of the police force, willing to do almost anything to get ahead, except sell out; Bud White (Russell Crowe), ready to break the rules to seek justice, but barely able to keep his raging violence under control; and Jack Vincennes (Kevin Spacey), always looking for celebrity and a quick buck until his conscience drives him to join Exley and White down the one-way path to find the truth behind the dark world of L.A. crime. Regardless of the score's technical merits, Goldsmith succeeds in producing a very dark and mysterious film noir accompaniment, made complete by several trumpet solos to reflect those songs. The score is surprisingly urgent, featuring the creepy, low piano rumblings and synthesized beats resembling the John Williams style of sophisticated corruption in the 1990's. Thankfully, the electronic noises, because they are mixed at a distance behind the constant trumpet and piano solos, do not break the feeling of the period. The action scenes announce themselves with extremely heavy percussion, highlighted by a prominent role for timpani. The bombastic role of that instrument in "Bloody Christmas" will revive memories of classic Goldsmith action. The title theme and its variants, almost always performed by trumpet, are somewhat limp, used sporadically and often in minor fragments throughout the suspense cues.
