LA 92
Scored from 38 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2010s (13,059 peers).
Summary
Daniel Lindsay and T.J. Martin's documentary assembles news broadcasts, police radio, courtroom tape and home video into a chronological account of Los Angeles in the spring of 1992, when the acquittal of four LAPD officers charged over the videotaped beating of Rodney King set off six days of unrest. There is no narration and no interviews shot for the film: everything on screen is contemporaneous footage, from the intersection at Florence and Normandie to burning storefronts and the armed standoffs in Koreatown. The material is framed against the 1965 Watts riots and the killing of fifteen-year-old Latasha Harlins by a shopkeeper who was sentenced to probation.
LA 92 (2017) is a film IMDb files under the crime, documentary and history genres. It is rated TV-MA. It was made in the United States. The runtime is 92 minutes.
Only 38 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 38 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. 13,058 other films from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 17 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where LA 92 lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 38.
