To Live and Die in LA stars William Petersen as Richard Chance, a Secret Service agent on the track of a big counterfeiting bust. John Pankow plays John Vukovich his partner. Willem Defoe (Streets of Fire) plays bad guy Eric Masters.
Chance is a Secret Service agent ready for a big bust. His partner and best friend who has served for 25 years is on his last big case. Unfortunately he is killed just before retirement. Now Chance is totally miffed. He and Vukovich devise a scheme to take Masters down. The deed is so gnarly that they might not make it out alive.
Dirty bad guys and dirtier cops make this a bogus situation.
Great lines include:
“Why are you chasing me?”
“I don't know, why you running?”
“Cause you're chasing me”
“I don't know, why you running?”
“Cause you're chasing me”
An exclusive Wang Chung soundtrack gives To Live and Die in LA a tailored sound. You might recognize both the theme song “To Live and Die in LA” as well as the more popular “Dance Hall Days”.
I give To Live and Die in LA 3 alligators for script, 80’s wealth, excess and swag.
Look for appearances by Dean Stockwell and a very young Jane Leeves (Daphne on Frasier).
To Live and Die in LA is rated R
