Peter Yates, director of "Bullitt" made this gritty crime drama about a down-and-out, two-bit criminal played by Robert Mitchum. His character, Eddie Coyle, finds himself in a real bind and spends the movie desperately trying to get himself out of it. How it all transpires feels as realistic as it could get. Every minute feels like it actually happened. Again, another movie from that great decade from 1967 to 1977. Recommended!
