William Friedkin briefly revived his faltering career with this sleek, bleak thriller of a pair of secret service agents on the trail of a counterfeiter. William L. Peterson is the hotshot protégé of a career agent killed by the ruthless, almost feral counterfeiting genius Willem Dafoe (Platoon). Now Petersen, teamed with the smart but still green John Pankow (TV's Mad About You), is ready to twist arms, lean on criminals, steal, and even murder to exact his revenge. The harrowing chase through the streets of Los Angeles that climaxes on the freeway at rush hour, where Friedkin's brilliant twist sends them heading the wrong way, careening through a sea of cars coming straight at them, is still one of the most breathtaking car chases ever filmed. Friedkin's edgy crime thriller, stylishly shot in steely blues against hazy red and orange skies by Robby Muller (Paris, Texas), paints a very thin line between the good guys and the bad guys, and Wang Chung's techno soundtrack sets the proper mood--jumpy and alienated. It's a cynical and very brutal look into the world of law enforcement (adapted by Friedkin and former Secret Service man Gerald Petievich from his novel) and a cold portrayal of the power games between cops and feds, and cops and informants. John Turturro, Dean Stockwell, and Robert Downey Sr. are featured in supporting roles. --Sean Axmaker

Other reviewers did a great job , and there's nothing left for me))), except this: first of all I'd like to notice that brilliantly used "flashbacks" in some scenes gives you much of mysterious feel (especially during final scene) and movie shines even more with it, addin' to this "multi-layered" masterpiece one more implication way.
After movie is over you'd prefer to watch it again and again, and still after numerous times of watching, you'll be thinking and wondering about this twisted ... Read More

Hang on to your hats, folks, this movie is genre revisionism with a vengeance. William Friedkin's 1985 take on the Rogue Cop movie, made at the genre's high tide (between "48 Hours" and "Lethal Weapon," while Stallone and Shwarzenegger were churning out programmers like "Raw Deal" and "Cobra" and "Miami Vice" was the hottest thing on the tube), takes the hoary cliche of the vigilante cop who will stop at absolutley nothing to take down the crook who killed his partner (days before retirement, of course) ...

To Live and Die in L. A., in my opinion, is a first-class movie, just as a scoop of jamocha almond fudge is a great cone. But it's unnerving when after three or four satisfying licks of jamocha all of a sudden you're handling the taste of tutti-frutti. What the...but then you're back quickly to the jamocha...wait a minute, now I've got a taste of raspberry-pumpkin to deal with.
William Friedkin's movie about a murderous counterfeiter and an obsessed, out-of-control Secret Service agent who is ... Read More

If you like William Peterson, here is your chance to see him when he was a
whole lot younger. He is still cute but in To Live and Die in L.A., he was
HOT. Interesting movie, lots of twists to hold your attention, too. This
movie has the BEST chase scene ever. The French Connection had a good
chase scene, but this one is GREAT. Going the wrong way an a ramp in LA is
too good!
