To Live And Die In L.A. review

If you think L.A. is Sodom and Gomorrah 2.0 today, it was not exactly Disney World in the 80s either. A movie came out in 1985 that showed the not so glamorous side of L.A. with a story about Secret Service agents chasing down a murderous, psychotic counterfeiter around L.A. That movie is William Friedkin’s “To Live And Die In L.A.”, and if Friedkin’s name sounds familiar, it’s because he also directed “The Exorcist” and “The French Connection.” He brings his gritty, never-know-what-you’re-gonna-get style to his action thriller. William L. Peterson plays the main character, Secret Service agent Richard Chance and his target in a quest for vengeance is a clever counterfeiter named Eric Masters, played by Willem Dafoe. Masters murders someone very close to Chance and that triggers a dangerous, frenzied pursuit where you never know who’s going to make it out alive. “To Live And Die In L.A.” is also famous for a 80s cool soundtrack by Wang Chung.
