Hollywood Confidential (1997)

Rate: 3
Viewed: 1/24

1/24: Just what I thought: a failed television pilot.

The founder of Miami Vice, Anthony Yerkovich, thought he had the Midas touch when he set to work on Hollywood Confidential, but it didn't come through. The strongest of the cast is Edward James Olmos, and it's easy to follow his character. After him, everything falls apart.

Another big mistake is throwing many cases at me from the get-go. Just calm down, and stick with one at a time. Then, the series can be built up with a couple more. Ditto for the characters. Unfortunately, they aren't worth caring.

All in all, watching Miami Vice reruns is preferable over Hollywood Confidential.
