Sordid Cinema Podcast #594: To Live and Die in L.A. — the Quintessential L.A. Crime Film

August 18, 2021

To Live and Die in L.A. Podcast Review

We continue our informal, intermittent series on grimy cops vs crooks genre movies (see also: Drug War, King of New York, Hard Boiled) with William Friedkin’s slick-but-gritty 1985 thriller To Live and Die in L.A. With its amoral characters, full-frontal nudity, and wildly epic car chase, this is one we (mostly) find lots to rave about.
