To Live And Die In L.A. Full Movie Download 1080p Hd

In Los Angeles, the secret agent Richard Chance (<a href=">William Petersen) loses his partner and friend Jim Hart in an investigation of counterfeit money two days before Jim&#39;s retirement. The agent John Vukovich (<a href=">John Pankow) is assigned to work with Chance, who is obsessed with capturing Eric &#39;Rick&#39; Masters, the criminal responsible for Jim&#39;s death. Chance risks both his partner&#39;s and his own career trying to arrest Rick.
A fearless Secret Service agent will stop at nothing to bring down the counterfeiter who killed his partner.
Very reminiscent of 80s buddy/cop films, TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA tries to balance both the gritty 70s cop noir (ala the director&#39;s previous The French Connection, Bullitt) with the flair of the 80s (e.g., Miami Vice, Lethal Weapon, etc.). The pace of the film is solid, with music (mostly Wang Chung), visuals, and clothing very much a statement of the &quot;Miami Vice&quot; type of environ, though the film is set in LA. The action and attention to detail is riveting, again, reminiscent of The French Connection, with a car chase to boot! William Petersen, 20 years pre CSI, is Secret Service Agent Rick Chance, who loses his partner to master counterfeiter Eric Masters (Willem Dafoe). (Don&#39;t worry, this point is just setup). As Chance is paired with a rookie agent, his dedication to his partner soon turns him into a rogue cop, bending and eventually breaking the rules.<br/><br/>The line between the enforcer of justice and renegade is soon blurred, as Chance drags his partner into a number of situations where the good guys and the bad guys are only differentiated by who has a badge.<br/><br/>With solid twists and strong performances, it&#39;s only a shame that this couldn&#39;t have been a darker movie, a darker tone, made in the 70s or 90s. Maybe they&#39;re do a remake, I&#39;m sure the characters would still survive beyond the Day-Glo of the 80s.
To Live and Die in LA is one of those rare thrillers which, despite the mid-80&#39;s fashions and hairdos that occupy each scene, endures as time goes on. The film explores the themes of loyalty, trust, and tunnel vision for one&#39;s calling, and employed morally challenged heroes before it became hip to do so. Petersen and Dafoe give remarkably strong (and seedy) portrayals of adversaries, and the film is set against a backdrop of L.A.&#39;s underbelly- the locations we don&#39;t typically see in films anymore. A surprising amount of graphic violence exists in this film- I don&#39;t recall seeing this many people shot in the face in any mainstream film before or since. One of my all time favorites.
To Live and Die in L.A. is as urgent and exhilaratingly paced as anything William Friedkin's done.
