The Friends of Eddie Coyle
Why this pick
A lean, unsentimental crime drama about small-time operators caught between police and more dangerous forces, with the same worn-in moral bleakness and lived-in realism.

The Seven-Ups

The Anderson Tapes

A sharply observed urban heist film with a skeptical view of authority and criminal networks, set in a similarly unforgiving, surveillance-heavy New York.

Badge 373

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Jim Harris goes with his partners to steal $300,000 from a Mafia-controlled Numbers game in Harlem, disguised as police officers. The robbery goes wrong and results in the deaths of seven men — three black gangsters, two members of the Mafia, and two police officers. Lieutenant William Pope, a strait-laced black police officer is assigned to work the case with aging Captain Frank Mattelli, a street-wise but racist Italian-American cop. Although Lieutenant Pope works strictly by the book and states that he is in charge of the investigation, he struggles to restrain Mattelli, who receives money from Doc Johnson, the leader of African-American organized crime in Harlem. Over the course of roughly twenty-four hours, Pope and Mattelli race to get to the criminals before they can be hunted down by the Mafia, which is also searching for Harris’ crew. The Italians are led by Nick DiSalvio, a savage Caporegime who takes pleasure in torturing his victims.
