This Flick In Brief


A cult classic that took the cop/buddy genre to another level, To Live And Die In L.A. takes the viewer on a hectic journey through southern California as two Secret Service agents pursue a crafty counterfeiter (Willem Defoe) by any means necessary.

Containing one of the most insane car chases in cinematic history, To Live And Die In L.A. is a throwback to director William Friedkin's other classic, The French Connection. With the oddball Wang Chung scoring the soundtrack and with solid performances from the entire cast, To Live And Die In L.A. is one of those quirky movies that's nothing special, but is special at the same time.
