That's about as complex as the dialogue and characters get in this chic, wanton thriller. To which Director William Friedkin might riposte, "They're called movies, you know, not chatties or peo-plies." L.A. does move, notably in a brutal, bloated car-chase sequence pilfered from Friedkin's nifty The French Connection. In his God's-eye-view shots and acrobatic love scenes, he also pays tribute to the styles of Martin Scorsese and MTV. So the villain, Counterfeiter Willem Dafoe, is no more rotten or less picturesque than the hero, William Petersen. So everybody stinks. It matters...
