To Live and Die in L.A. - 1985

Anyone seen this? William Friedkin directed it. William Petersen gets a lot of praise for Manhunter (rightfully so), but he is just as good in this. When he says that he is going to bust Rick Masters no matter what, he means it. The car chase is iconic. Wang Chung does most of the music.

A very entertaining 80’s watch. Dafoe was a great villain…

yes its amazing. Probably my 2nd fav Friedkin film after Sorcerer.

Never seen it, but the soundtrack by Wang Chung was awesome.

I always felt John Pankow as Petersen's partner was miscast and drags the movie down a bit. For such a big part, he feels like a 3rd lead TV detective wandered onto the set. Never did anything else.

Great 80's movie. Hard to get on streaming for a while, but was finally made available a year or so ago. Darlene Fluegel should have had a bigger career. First leading man role for Peterson. Pankow is definitely miscast.

William Friedkin is underrated as a director
