Stylistic issues aside, however, the film remains a top-notch thriller, one which follows a familiar storyline trope &#8212; cop seeks revenge for his dead partner &#8212; but is executed with panache and skill. As noted below, Friedkin (ably assisted by cinematographer Robby Muller) makes excellent use of L.A.&#8217;s grittier environs, and the lengthy freeway car chase is a worthy follow-up to the infamous chase scene in his earlier cop classic, <em>The French Connection<\/em> (1971). Performance-wise, stage-actor Petersen isn&#8217;t all that charismatic or memorable in the lead role, but he does a fine job showing his character&#8217;s moral struggle; however, it&#8217;s Dafoe&#8217;s cold-hearted criminal who truly shines here, oozing greed and amorality at every turn.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Willem Dafoe as Petersen&#8217;s personal nemesis<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/Dafoe.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/Dafoe.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2210\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>A fascinating glimpse at high-tech counterfeiting<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/Counterfeit.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/Counterfeit.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2209\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Excellent use of realistic L.A. cityscapes, streets, and alleys<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/To-Live-and-Die-in-L.A.-Alley.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/To-Live-and-Die-in-L.A.-Alley.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/To-Live-and-Die-in-L.A.-Alley.jpg 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/To-Live-and-Die-in-L.A.-Alley-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/To-Live-and-Die-in-L.A.-Alley-128x72.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/To-Live-and-Die-in-L.A.-Alley-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/To-Live-and-Die-in-L.A.-Alley-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>A truly exciting freeway car chase<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/To-Live-and-Die-in-L.A.-Freeway.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/To-Live-and-Die-in-L.A.-Freeway.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/To-Live-and-Die-in-L.A.-Freeway.jpg 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/To-Live-and-Die-in-L.A.-Freeway-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/To-Live-and-Die-in-L.A.-Freeway-128x72.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/To-Live-and-Die-in-L.A.-Freeway-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/To-Live-and-Die-in-L.A.-Freeway-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;very &#8217;80s&#8221; synthesized soundtrack by Wang Chung<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, but it&#8217;s recommended. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0090180\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1985\/11\/01\/movies\/screen-from-friedkin.html\">NY Times Original Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rogerebert.com\/reviews\/to-live-and-die-in-la-1985\">Roger Ebert&#8217;s Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeout.com\/film\/79531.html\">Time Out Capsule Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Buddy, you&#8217;re in the wrong place at the wrong time.&#8221; Synopsis: A Los Angeles secret agent (William L.
