Viewing Notes
Eddie Coyle does a great job of detailing the day-to-day of the lower echelon of the criminal element; the working class criminals if you will.
Mitchum and Boyle both turn in excellent performances backed by an excellent supporting cast of great character actors like Alex Rocco and Richard Jordan, both mainstays of seventies cinema.
