Review of To Live and Die in L.A. (1985) by Voodoo123 — 14 May 2018
To live and die in la is a both a wonderfully shot and beautifully written movie which is not afraid to embrace its punky and uniquely 80's flair. The excellent cast do well to inhabit the world convincingly.
Watching this reminded me of some of the more intense moments from shows like the the wire or true detective only with a more 'kinetic and filmic edge' which nicely stylise the various happenings. The soundtrack provides a thumping tempo which nicely tailors the preceding mayhem.
The plot kept me guessing with interesting characters on both sides of the law. Overall I found this to be an impressive film that stands well against the test of time considering how many there are in this genre.
