Viewing Notes
Since Horror Movie Night was TBD tonight (BK ended at at the Santa Sangre screening at the Drafthouse) I decided to watch The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973) to continue my Peter Yates tribute for the week (and unintentional Robert Mitchum tribute). This is a solid crime flick featuring Mitchum and a group of bank robbers who get double-crossed. The tension is palpable. Very good film.
