Need a great movie to watch? Then look no further. Raw lost 70's gem that I absolutely love. The Friends of Eddie Coyle. I mean it has Robert Mitchum, that should be enough for you right there. They don't make these types of movies anymore, in fact this type of movie would scare the hell out of any studio today. This movie will leave you in the dust if you don't pay attention. For most people I sell it like this, "Think The Departed, but way less obvious". No knock on The Departed, good movie, but I've seen this movie a few times now and am still not convinced I know exactly what happened. Criterion put out a stellar edition on DVD awhile back and this is 70's cinema at it's finest. It's not for everybody, but if you like raw subtle story full of great characters give it a spin. They just don't make movies like this anymore. You have to watch to get it, you can't sleep walk through this picture. It demands you get involved and stay there.
