The next film screened is going to William Friedkin's 1985 action crime thriller To Live And Die In L.A. Friedkin is well-known for his car chase stunts from The French Connection, but many (myself included) feel that the chase in TLADILA is just as good. The film stars William Petersen as a US Secret Service agent with the counterfeit division investogating the murder of his partner (who yes, I kid you not, had ONE day until retirement) at the hands of master counterfeiter Willem Dafoe.A great unrelenting crime film, with just enough 80's cheeze factor to give it a couple good laughs, not the least of which is the score by none other than Wang Chung.
To Live and Die In L.A., Saturday December 27th at 2:30 pm.
