To Live and Die in L.A.

1h 55m
Directed by William Friedkin • 1985 • United States
Starring William Petersen, Willem Dafoe, John Pankow
William Friedkin’s kinetic neonoir takes the ’80s action thriller to new heights of hyperstylized excess. Federal agent Richard Chance (William Petersen) has a score to settle as he vows to take down a murderous counterfeiter (Willem Dafoe) by any means necessary. Friedkin pushes this white-knuckle tale of corruption and revenge into overdrive with sleek visuals, a synthy New Wave soundtrack by Wang Chung, and one of the most harrowing car chases ever caught on film: a pulse-pounding, against-traffic pursuit down a congested Los Angeles freeway.
