SYNOPSlS:
Peter Yates, the Oscar-nominated director of riveting crime cIassics Robbery and BuIIitt, teamed up with the incomparable Robert Mitchum for an unforgettable excursion into Boston's criminaI underworId.
Based on the acclaimed novel by George V. Higgins, The Friends of Eddie Coyle follows an ageing gunrunner's troubles at the peripheries of the IocaI mob once he finds his options split disastrously between the threat of a fresh prison sentence or poIice cooperation.
One of the best, most unexpected gangster fiIms of the 1970s, The Friends of Eddie CoyIe is a gripping tale of Iow-Iives and Ioyalties, presented with the director's trademark authenticity and naturalism, and an extraordinary array of performances, led by a never-better Mitchum.
