There's not one phony note in the film....A lost treasure...
Entertainment Weekly
Director Peter Yates' backdrops of the working-class outskirts of Boston during the shabbiest part of the 1970s are unparalleled.

Rating: 5/5 --
Robert Mitchum brings late-career gravitas to this brilliant Boston-set crime thriller.

The Skinny
Rating: 4/5 --
In a quality cast, Peter Boyle stands out as the hitman and so-called "friend" who's given the job of eliminating Mitchum.

Product Description:
A highwater mark in 1970s crime drama, THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE doesn’t dabble in stylized glamour--the film depicts Boston’s dirty cops and desperate crooks as rumpled, weary, and working just to get by. Robert Mitchum stars as Eddie "Fingers" Coyle, a local gunrunner who’s just run out of luck: faced with possible jail time, he must decide whether to take the rap or sell out his criminal customers in exchange for freedom. Legendary for his tough-guy performances, Mitchum endows the antihero with such simmering self-loathing and realistic mannerisms that many critics consider it one of the actor’s finest hours.
