A FEDERAL AGENT IS DEAD. A KILLER IS LOOSE. AND THE CITY OF ANGELS IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE.
In the seventies William Friedkin made The French Connection, The Exorcist and Sorcerer. In the eighties he equalled them with To Live and Die in L.A., one of the most stylish thrillers the decade had to offer.
When his partner is murdered just days before retirement, Secret Service Agent Richard Chance (William Petersen, Manhunter) begins an obsessive hunt for his killer – counterfeiter and all-round psychopath Eric Masters, played by Willem Dafoe at his villainous prime.
Beautifully shot by Robby Muller (Repo Man, Paris, Texas) and with a driving score with British new wave act Wang Chung, To Live and Die in L.A. looks and sounds exceptional in this brand-new 4K restoration from the original 35mm negative.

Seminal 80s movie
Probably the last great film by Friedkin. Excessive and super stylish, captures the decade phenomenally. The performances by William Petersen and Willem Dafoe are striking, Peterson as the hotheaded cop and Dafoe the criminal with a sense for art. Wang Chung`s score and Robby Mueller`s cinematography are giving yet more specific quality to this masterpiece where nothing is black and white and all very very shady. When it comes to this edition, the Blu Ray is very filmic and sharp, being a marked improvement to the already excellent DVD included, while the sound quality has an even bigger impact on the Blu Ray. The extras are also excellent and this is a must have edition for people who love this movie and to all who are yet to be introduced to it. Well done Arrow !
