The Friends of Eddie Coyle
It’s a grubby, violent, dangerous world. But it’s the only world they know. And they’re the only friends Eddie has.
Directed by Peter Yates
Produced by Paramount Pictures
A gritty, morally murky portrait of a small-time criminal caught between loyalty and survival in a world where friendship is currency and betrayal is inevitable.
An aging hood is about to go back to prison. Hoping to escape his fate, he supplies information on stolen guns to the feds, while simultaneously supplying arms to his bank robbing chums.
