Review of Cruising (1980) by Justin S — 12 Jun 2016
William Friedkin is a master director with an impressive body of work. One of my all time favorite: To live and die in L.a (1985) will forever remain the coolest car chases flick I have ever seen. With this new film, he delivers another great slice of american cinema with a topic rarely explored before, murders in the underground New York Leather and S&M scene in 1980.
The film was extremely controversial at the time and has managed to withstand the passing of time, remaining a sort of classic thriller with a very specific vibe and mood. Pacino is solid as ever and delivers once again a great performance.
Not my favorite Friedkin film but a good film nevertheless.
