I originally saw this film in the theater a year before I moved to LA. It paints a grim portrait of LA, full of criminals, hustlers, and violence. Cops are barely keeping the baddies at bay.
Against the backdrop of the gritty, ugly city with spectacular sunsets, the story unfolds. A better metaphor you will not find for the jumble of juxtapositions that make up this sprawling metropolis. In so many ways this film is timeless- LA hasn't really changed al that much. Its a great time capsule of the 80s with a sountrack to match.
I always wondered what happened to William Peterson, he seemed to disappear into obscurity after his riveting performance. The ending is shocking even the second time around. Willem DaFoe, looking startlingly young and fresh-faced, does a perfect turn as a super-villian master counterfeiter.
Check it out!

Home nursing an illness, came across this little gem. Free on Prime, fairly recent, and Edie Falco, why not? I had not previously heard of it.
Edie, flawless as usual, plays a put-upon working-class Mom divorcee. She manages her family of misfits with undying devotion and unconditional love. The actress playing daughter Sarah is hilarious, kudos to the grandma too.
The film is at times very funny, poignant, and heartfelt. I truly enjoyed it. Michael Beach was a special treat!
I'm not sure why this needs 600 minimum charcters. I see many other reviews that are very much shorter. Do a portion of reviews fit a certain criteria? Wish I knew!!!
