TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A.
Product Description
A book representative becomes spooky with destroying a counterfeiter obliged for his partner’s death.Amazon.com
William Friedkin quickly regenerated his unsatisfactory career with this sleek, dour thriller of a span of tip use agents on the route of a counterfeiter. William L. Peterson is the hotshot protégé of a career representative killed by the ruthless, roughly untamed counterfeiting might Willem Dafoe (Platoon). Now Petersen, teamed with the intelligent but still immature John Pankow (TV’s Mad About You), is ready to turn arms, gaunt on criminals, steal, and even attempted murder to expect his revenge. The nerve-racking follow by the streets of Los Angeles which climaxes on the turnpike at pour out hour, where Friedkin’s shining turn sends them streamer the wrong way, careening by a sea of cars entrance true at them, is still one of the many monumental car chases ever filmed. Friedkin’s irritable crime thriller, stylishly shot in steely sadness opposite misty red and orange skies by Robby Muller (Paris, Texas), paints a really thin line in in between the great guys and the bad guys, and Wang Chung’s techno soundtrack sets the correct mood–jumpy and alienated. It’s a asocial and really heartless demeanour in to the universe of law coercion (adapted by Friedkin and former Secret Service male Gerald Petievich from his novel) and a cold description of the energy games in in between cops and feds, and cops and informants. John Turturro, Dean Stockwell, and Robert Downey Sr. have been featured in ancillary roles. –Sean Axmaker

I read quite a bit about this action movie especially the car chase. It was said that this car chase was one of the greatest in movie history (including Bullitt). It was unavailable anywhere and I found a used copy at a flea market. This flick is terrible! The car chase is terrible too. How can you have an exciting car chase with boxy 80′s cars? I love action movies but this one is weird. I guess that is why they call it To Live And Die In L.A. That explains it all.

The car chase and the cops are about as good as a good ole Keystone Cops comedy.This sure as hell isn’t no LA Confidential.

The lethal weapon films are better cop movies, and the matrix reloaded as a much better car chase(even though this one inspired it alittle, like to going the opposite way on the freeway). Its basically your typical cop movie, this one has pretty lame action, bad acting, no special plot, and no comedy or drama, another flaw is it is borderline porno, there is alot of sex and nudity, totally uneccesary, i hope the french connection proves better when i see it. Since it has nothing special to offer i give it a 2 out of a 10 since it inspired the matrix reloaded’s car chase(which is the best one ever) and the ending was an unexpected shock but still pretty lamorama because it was totally underplayed.
