William Friedkin shows why he was one of the best action filmmakers with cat and mouse thriller To Live and Die in L.A.

There’s not really much substance here, but the film looks fantastic and showcases a grabber of a car chase.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 31, 2023

The high point of the film is a stunning car chase, in which the agents drive against the flow of traffic on a busy six-lane freeway that is only surpassed by the one in Friedkin’s earlier masterpiece, The French Connection.

A scuzzy, sun-drenched LA neo-noir where nobody is good forever and everyone has something to hide.

| Jun 25, 2022

The thrilling car chase at the center of the movie is perhaps one of the best ever captured on film.

It's a well-made, pulse-quickening action picture, but one that is, finally, as exhausting as it is entertaining.

The film is nothing if not fast, and if you are willing to settle for that, if you are willing to look beyond the inconsistencies, you're likely to enjoy the film. It's hard.

A raw tale laced with Miami Vice-style visuals and raunchy brutality.
