Overview
Stunningly photographed by legendary cinematographer Robby Müller (Paris, Texas, Repo Man) and based on the novel of the same name, To Live and Die in L.A. saw William Friedkin deliver one of his grimiest and most propulsive urban thrillers. Willem Dafoe is Los Angeles criminal mastermind Rick Masters — artist, counterfeiter, armed and extremely dangerous. On his tail is the reckless, impulsive Secret Service agent Richard Chance (William Petersen, Manhunter), who’ll stop at nothing for revenge after Masters brutally murdered his partner.
Why You Should See This Film
Let us count the ways we love this film. It sees Willem Dafoe at his villainous best, it features an incredible wrong-way-on-the-highway car chase that rivals that of The French Connection, its visuals pop on screen the most seductively ‘80s way possible, and it features a killer score from U.K. new wave group Wang Chung. Fun fact: the counterfeit money from the film was so believable, Friedkin used it as cash in real life.
