Review of To Live and Die in L.A. (1985) by Adrian S — 12 Feb 2011
A crackling and twisty yarn from William Friedkin, the inimitable director of adulated classics like The Exorcist and The French Connection. It paints a hellish portrait of denizens caught in an inexorable web of corruption, set amidst a seedy 80s LA.
Starts slow but this thriller switches to the 3rd gear by the 2nd act and then after a balls-to-the-wall chase scene through LA, culminates in a shocking climax that reaffirms the inescapable loop of corruption police officials find themselves hard to get out of.
This stylish, brainy and at turns brutal noir will blow your brains out!
