Review of The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973) by Ty Burr for Boston Globe — 25 Dec 1988
The Friends of Eddie Coyle is so beautifully acted and so well set (in and around Boston's pool halls, parking lots, side-streets, house trailers and barrooms) that it reminds me a good deal of John Huston's Fat City.
It also has that film's ear for the way people talk—for sentences that begin one way and end another, or are stuffed with excess pronouns.
