To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)

When his longtime partner on the force is killed, reckless U.S. Secret Service agent Richard Chance (William L. Petersen) vows revenge, setting out to nab dangerous counterfeit artist Eric Masters (Willem Dafoe). Along with his new, straitlaced partner, John Vukovich (John Pankow), Chance sets up a scheme to entrap Masters, resulting in the accidental death of an undercover officer. As Chance's desire for justice becomes an obsession, Vukovich questions the lawless methods he employs.This movie is soaked in 80s. From the art, costumes, the Wang Chung soundtrack, it's oozing a time and a place that doesn't exist anymore. Is this movie great? Was it ever? Does it hinge in surprise and brutality or is it a classic noir that deserved every accolade it got? Tune in! Find out! Jules picked this one for fun and you could pick one for us also.
