A late career triumph for sleepy-eyed noir favorite Robert Mitchum, who excels as a two-time loser trying to avoid more jail time in 1973 Boston. Gritty, realistic and at times shockingly violent, Peter Yates' crime drama never found the audience it deserves.

Some really grubby little east coast crime flicks came out around this time. This, THE SEVEN-UPS, THE TAKING OF PELHAM, ONE TWO THREE. I love them all.

The Seven-Ups for my money has the greatest car chase in film history!

I think Ben Affleck when he did the Boston crime film the town used a similar scene In that movie that was taken from the friends of Eddie Colye. In that movie the bank manager was taken hostage and he was blindfolded and told to count to 100 as he slowly walked to the banks of a river. When the town came out, and the female teller was also blindfolded and told to walk till she came to the end of a river bank.it is just a useless bit of trivia but leads me to think that the makers of the town respected and wanted to show an appreciation of another Boston crime classic.

And the greatest crime flick of all, The Fench Connection.

Also the Anderson tapes . Yes there's something wonderful about these early 70s films.

they're not "grubby".

In the last season of the show "Justified" the main character, Raylan Givens, takes an old paperback out of his desk drawer and hands it to his partner, telling him if he really wants to know how criminals think he should read it. It's "The Friends of Eddie Coyle".

@jessediaz1293 Год назад

Yea he also tells one of the baddies something like “you read friends of Eddie Coyle?” when their all at his wife’s house. Then he shoots them.

@Tabish29 Год назад

Yea. I just binged justified. He gives it to Gutterson. What was the reference, though? That bad dudes don't ever really have friends?

Richard Jordan was extremely underrated, just as you say.

@kamuelalee 3 года назад

Jordan was great in Chato's Land with Charles Bronson.

THE TOWN certainly owes a lot to this film and its writer.

@charlespoe1306 4 года назад

It sure does. I noticed that the writers of the town used a similar scene in their movie. This is just a useless bit of trivia. The town had a scene where the bank teller was taken hostage and released blindfolded and told to walk until she came to the water at the end of. the river bank. And I remembered in the friends of Eddie Colye their was a very similar scene except the blindfolded hostage this time was the male bank manager.but the geography the river bank area looked familiar.anyway just useless trivia but the writers of the town giving a another classic movie. a shout out.both were great but the town does owe a lot to the friends of Eddie coyle

@kamuelalee 3 года назад

This is a great crime movie if you're a lover of crime movies.

@theskolcup 7 месяцев назад

One of the greatest crime movies hardly anyone has ever seen

@scottrgood Год назад

Steven Keats character was the only dude that didn’t sell anyone else out. Best character in the movie.

@Tabish29 5 лет назад

In terms of pure acting i thought Richard Jordan was mesmerizing as this menacing slimey cop who walks a fine line between the law and criminality(for lack of a better binary).

@edwardstevens1438 5 лет назад

An accurate depiction of todays FBI.

@adamsmith3413 4 года назад

This might be one of the best tours of Boston on film. This is a far better film than Reservoir Dogs.

@wildbillharding Год назад

It's way above RD. Its writer has experience of life beyond video stores and their contents.

@johnappleby405 Год назад

Great film Peter Boyle especially good (as ever)

@mosca3 10 лет назад

Great cast including Boston's own Alex Rocco.

If you have taken classes in law/law enforcement the YOU KNOW this is the film about criminal activity.

This movie just gets better with age! ☆☆☆☆☆ for me!

@jerryrichardson2799 Год назад

Got the book and the movie.

@jennifersman7990 4 года назад

Probably one reason Mitchum’s career was seen as being in downtown was because he got awful reviews for “Ryan’s Daughter”. Other than this, “Farewell, My Lovely” and “The Yakuza”, The 70’s were not very kind to Mitchum

@kamuelalee 3 года назад

Ryan's Daughter was a fantastic film and Mitchum gave a fine performance in that flick, like he does in most of his movies.

Tarantino ripped this off! A MOVIE that changed me not quite PIXOTE but very real "I FECKIN LURV THIS"

@liverneck2001 9 лет назад

the reservoir dogs comparison is true....very similar....however eddie coyle is much more sedate and reserved (not a criticism)-reservoir dogs is over the top....not much swearing in eddie coyle....lol...
