To Live and Die in L.A.

Ok maybe if I'd seen this before Manhunter I would've had a better notion about what the William Petersen deal was all about. (I'll give his Will Graham characterization another go some time, promise!) But I wasn't here initially for him or anyone else, just Dafoe! And Dafoe is what I got, hell yeah. So it starts out treading pretty standard "in too deep" cat-and-mouse criminal intrigue but it looks just so good doing it and then quickly starts delving into much more interesting territory and getting side-swiped by Friedkin levels of amped-up resolve. Having also seen the deleted alternate ending which reeked of insane buddy cop movie smarminess, I was pleasantly surprised by the dark route they stuck to and which the story was very much owed, right down to its rotten center.

harsh film. The synth heavy score rocks, Dafoe is amazing in this, as are the two leads. Love seeing Irving here (John Turturro). That car chase scene solidified this as a 5-star movie
