The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973)

In the gritty, shadowy world of crime, Eddie Coyle is a small-time hoodlum teetering on the edge of a precipice. A seasoned career criminal, Eddie finds himself staring down the barrel of another jail sentence—a prospect he dreads more than anything. With every tick of the clock, the walls of the prison cell grow closer, threatening to swallow him and his dreams of a peaceful life with his wife and children. In a desperate bid to evade this impending fate, Eddie, with his labyrinthine network of dubious "friends," begins to play a dangerous double game. He plans a daring robbery, hoping it will provide the financial security his family needs. Simultaneously, he dances with the devil—informing the feds about a cache of stolen guns, attempting to barter his way to freedom. But in the murkiness of the underworld, trust is a rare commodity. As Eddie supplies arms to his felonious pals, a disturbing question begins to haunt him: who else is whispering in the ears of the feds? In the deadly game of snitch and deceive, will Eddie be the one to take the fall when his bank-robbing confederates face the music? "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" draws you into a world where friendship is suspect, loyalty is fleeting, and survival is a high-stakes gamble. Watch as Eddie walks the tightrope between the law and lawless, in a desperate attempt to escape the clutches of his past and secure a future for his family.
