Mitchum, one of Hollywood's most underappreciated actors, knocks one out of the ballpark in this film. The only reason I can see that he wasn't nominated for an Oscar was because Mitchum was too rough for the delicate sensibilities of the industry bigwigs.

"Eddie doesn't rob banks...He's about this high in the bunch but he gets around more than any man I've ever seen," says Dave Foley (Richard Jordan), a baby-faced Boston cop about as amoral as the wiseguys he hunts. Eddie Coyle (Robert Mitchum) is a worn out, two-bit gunrunner. He provides untraceable revolvers when required. He draws the line at machine guns. Eddie is honorable in his way. He loves his family. He's just a low life who isn't all that shrewd. The fix he's in, because he can't take ... Read More

Mitchum has the Boston accent down in this unbelievably tense, mythic story of a small-time con who tries to turn his life around. The accent is one of the most difficult to master. It takes an actor who appreciates the nuance of pure gesture, an eye roll or sigh, or the nearly inaudible word others might miss. As Eddie "Fingers" Coyle, Mitchum does more with his face than some do with their careers.
The film is true to George V. Higgins' scrappy thriller in which the man nobody knows ... Read More

As a cinemaphile who was influenced from the 40's onward and placing my admiration among the "film noir" denizens to be somewhere between Bogie and McQueen, I have long considered Robert Mitchum to be my hero of choice.
With the abundance of high ratings on this film, I thought I had discovered a plum.
I was simply disappointed in the relevance of Mitchum in the movie. It was certainly no tour de force of his performing acumen. The supporting players were well cast but pretty ... Read More

My fondness for this film owes something to the fact that I witnessed some of the filming of "Eddie Coyle" in 1973 at Dorchester's Boston Bowl when I was 13. For 3 1/2 hours, I was mesmerized by Mitchum as he filmed a scene inside the bowling alley. This film is to my Bostonian soul a haunting representation of what the town and surroundings were like in the 1960's and 1970s. Don't expect "The Departed", "Mystic River" or "Good Will Hunting", they are entertaining but ultimately shallow reflections of ... Read More
