Very much dated by its look and the soundtrack, but ultimately not harmed by it. This is a very effective modern noire that tends to avoid obviousness, particularly once out of the opening scenes. Features an excellent highway car chase and some fine work by Dafoe. Genuinely interesting and likeable, feeling like an Italian poliziotteschi at times.

Hell yeah! William Friedkin plus Willem Dafoe as an insane money launderer plus Wang Chung on the soundtrack equals a great film. But in all seriousness, a really damn good actioner with quite possibly the greatest highway chase ever committed to film--Friedkin tops his French Connection chase.

Fun little slice of 80s crime thriller, though sometimes it very much feels like a product of its time (not always in a good way). But for the most part it's done quite well and isn't ever boring, crafting a story that takes some interesting turns.

The movie that got me to enroll in a commercial printing program at the local tech-voc school when I was 17. True story. Neither graduated nor counterfeited. Anyway, definitely one of the best crime flicks to come out of the 80's. Oh, and one of the best all time car chases in cinema. Right up there with The French Connection or Bullitt.

Right from the get go it's clear this is L.A. in the 80ies, but the film has a nasty, nihilistic undercurrent that feels more like the Italian exploitation films of the 70ies. A thrilling and morally bankrupt rollercoaster into the sewers of a city more myth than metropolis.

It certainly hasn't aged well in some respects - the fashion, music, and slang scream "1980s!", which gives it kind of a cheesy feel. But the plot is interesting and deviates from the normal cop drama enough to keep you on your toes, the car chase is pretty intense, and Dafoe is great as the very idiosyncratic villain - he's believable enough doing odd things like burning money in the nude and making out with a sexy mime. Petersen and Pankow are kind of blah, though.

William Friedkin is widely regarded as a creep. This is exactly the sort of movie you'd expect from a very talented creep: a grim, violent, cold-blooded but well-made and exciting police thriller. It seems to delight in breaking this rule and that, much like its protagonist

Surprisingly involving genre movie with no good guys that seems rather uninspired to start out with, getting underway by treading the well-worn path of the cop out for vengeance after the murder of his partner, but gets better and better as it goes along. Seems to have been made with the spirit of wild abandon that is its theme. Title could be a description of the director's career.

A great portrait of the sleazier side of 1980s Los Angeles. Friedkin is one of those directors who just seems to have an intimidate understanding of public spaces, and how people operate and reside within them. His films move so freely and confidently from place to place without sacrificing complexity.

An entertaining, but not mind blowing film that has some tasty moral ambiguity but doesn't really go past the surface level much and it's absolutely a product of it's time when it comes to presentation. Which I personally didn't mind, kind of liked it even but I could see it being a turnoff. Still a good performance by William Peterson and it's super cool to see a young Dafoe and Turturro in this film. Oh and that car chase was nice.

The aesthetic and the score make this feel like a sister film to Manhunter, and I love that about this movie. The cliché-ridden first half of the movie contrasts intriguingly with the unconventional second half. I just wish the resultant film had ended up something besides a right-wing panegyric for bad cops. The film questions the rectitude of these rule-breaking lawmen, but it never questions the necessity. Because of these things, the film almost feels like the Dirty Harry of the 80s.

A great crime drama that pulls no punches and has no real 'hero', only anti-heroes. To live and Die in LA is a very nicely shot film and one that gets the 1985 feel down pat. Willem Dafoe is great as the villain and this is his first major film role and he is awesome. This film is the one that started many of the 'cop' tropes we see more in film and tv now but they were fresh and new in 1985 and still work here. Really worth checking out.

Scuzzy, depraved, brutal, thrilling...yeah, Friedkin's in my living room again. The film is unforgivably dark, and though our protagonist's emphatic disregard for any and all semblance of dignity is made clear early on, it doesn't make the downward spiral any less harrowing. I have no freaking clue how there could possibly be a car chase sequence more electrifying than the classic scene in The French Connection, and yet I witnessed it here. Another hell of a movie by a unique American director.

How unconventional! To Live and Die in L.A. was a delight to watch, the film itself being of more than the average cop drama. Petersen glides through scenes, a complete badass, and Dafoe is equally as impressive as the eccentric villain. I loved the soundtrack and tone of the film. Plot is the strongest exploit here, though: Friedkin's work is definitely unique amongst a tired genre. It could be a little shorter, but this is essentially a perfect cop action drama. Awesome driving!

Imperfect, but it's a compelling and unforgiving narrative with great leads and a very strong sense of 80s style. Whatever small flaws the narrative has with cliches and contrived plot points is made up for by how incredibly well it all comes together and and how much fun to watch it all is.

One of the best cop thrillers ever with so much 80's style it practically hurts (And it will hurt if 80's style isn't your thing). Friedkin tops his French Connection car chase and has Wang Chung record the soundtrack. The ending is so great for what is essentially a Hollywood action movie.

It is hard to say that To Live and Die in L.A. is a good movie, but damn it's enjoyable. Not sure if it's considered a cult movie, but it has many traits to be one. Just imagine Willem Dafoe as a vicious psycho painter turned counterfeiter with homoeroticism aura about him. That alone makes this film worth watching, and there are much more good stuff going on in it. Gos, I love 80's.

Begins like any number of other 80's action movies but somewhere along the way the film takes a crazy and nihilistic turn, leading up to a wild apocalyptic ending.

One of Friedkin's best films. The car chase scene is unparalleled and "inspired" several films since, like Ronin. Petersen does the adrenaline-junkie-sociopath thing thing so very well, and Pankow is the perfect wet blanket foil to that. Dafoe makes you believe in his extremely singular character. The Wang Chung might make you snicker, but this is seriously one of the most artistically cohesive genre films I've ever seen.

What a freakin’ incredible film, made in such a way that arguably only Friedkin could’ve. It’s a cool, brutal and sexy crime flick that amounts to more than the sum of its parts, of which the action, omnipresent yet never irritating 80’s soundtrack and a calmly menacing and effectively evil Dafoe are its most memorable. It’s also refreshingly unpredictable, as if unhampered by the commercial aspirations of a classic studio film. They really don’t make ‘em like they used to.

Revels in stunning hyper-stylisation, with gorgeous, 80's as hell everything and a rockin' soundtrack that sometimes gets bizarre. It's a slick production where nearly everything is done right. The script quickly heads into dangerously uncontrolled territory, and while it never ceases to be entertaining, it's also messy and inexplicable. A number of fantastic scenes, but fails to be solid on account of the weird plotting.

I would've loved to have seen this in the moment, but 40ish years later it comes across as R-Rated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with bad acting and the worst sound mix I've ever heard in a movie.

Friedkin covers the dark side of LA in a way that would make Miami Vice proud. I love this movie, the Wang Chung score is excellent.

This is just such a great movie. The 80's moods, the cityscape, the characters with their various motivations and the great car chase that manages to feel more suspenseful than most car scenes in modern movies do. There are not fully good characters here and even the ones that seem good will have their own vices and faults to be uncovered as the plot progresses. Especially nice if you're into those 80's moods because having a thing for them feels really integral for enjoying this one.

Back in the day this movie was like the forbidden zone of really extreme stuff that your parents would not let you watch. It is a classic noir film detailing the pursuit of personal truth and justice by a character who has essentially stepped outside the social norms that constrained him. If you wanted "Miami Vice" to get darker, this was the option back then.

William Friedkin's attempt to recapture the magic of The French Connection with 80s LA replacing 70s New York, and he succeeded. The crème de la crème car chase is the big showstopper, but there's also a scene where Willem Dafoe shoots a guy in the dick, so there are multiple reasons to watch this movie is what I'm saying.

Given that the whole weight of the feds are at their disposal, there's a lot of silly lone wolf antics going on, causing a lot of trade-offs between dramatic suspense and suspension of disbelief. I'm not sure there's anything quintessentially Los Angeles about this flick except as a nod to its noir origins, but the setting did make for a decent car chase scene.

For those who thought MANHUNTER just wasn't 80s enough... almost grotesquely of its era in terms of style (and its casual blending of graphic sex and violence), it's almost difficult to view it as anything other than an artefact, but quite enjoyable on that basis - taking the time to develop Dafoe as a counterpoint to the ever-blockish Petersen is an intriguing narrative choice; film tells more than I would ever need to know about the nitty-gritty of counterfeiting cash!

This had a delayed affect on me, where while watching I knew I was caught up and interested but still waiting for it to wow me; even the famous car chase scene felt a little muted against my expectations. Still, I enjoyed the little twists all the way to the end. But on reflection, it's done nothing but shine in my memory. It's so wholly of its own breed. It may be cheesy at times, but no other cop thriller looks like it. Friedkin made an impossibly memorable flick.

One of the great Los Angeles portraits: a flamboyant theater of the absurd and sordid. What better venue for such reckless abandon, a tale of cops who, in their bloodthirst for vengeance, operate above, below, and around the law, scribbling the thin blue line as it suits them best. It's too bad, then, how wildly inappropriate the Wang Chung soundtrack is, always seeming to kick in and alleviate the film of seriousness when it's needed the most.

Maybe this crime thriller was considered gritty in the 80s but so much of this hilarious by today's standards. Partner shot days before retirement. Driving through stacks of cardboard boxes. William Petersen's over acting. Willem Dafoe's arse ... well I suppose that was the only thing that isn't funny by today's standards seeing as we're so used to seeing it now. Anyway TLADILA does have an awesome car chase and a few worthwhile plot points, but it just hasn't aged well which is a shame.

It's hard to not compare it to Friedkin's earlier The French Connection, though set in the '80s, in LA, with much more gore and Willem Dafoe's ass and much less characterisation, just about non-existent in this film. Good OTT car chase, as close to a Grand Theft Auto movie as we've gotten.

Great 80's action flick with loads of style and great cinematography. Only the soundtrack and topless bar scenes haven't dated very well, the car chase is awesome.

This could have been a decent actioner for me, but the Wang Chung soundtrack is so irritating and ill-suited that it hurts the rest of the movie. I applaud it for breaking some cliches, and especially for the car chase sequence, but it still falls very short of being recommended.

An underrated Friedkin movie. It's no French Connection but it is still splendid.
