Leave your thoughts about The Friends of Eddie Coyle.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe Friends of Eddie Coyle works so well because Eddie is played by Robert Mitchum, and Mitchum has perhaps never been better. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyMitchum looks like a doomed slab of granite and gives a dynamite performance. The tough-guy dialogue and working-class Boston locations are so realistic it almost feels like you’re watching a documentary. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurraySo much about The Friends Of Eddie Coyle feels locked into 1973—from Dave Grusin’s jazz-fusion score to the shaggy hair and wide collars—but the dialogue is almost David Mamet-like in its specificity and rhythm, and it remains bracing even now. |
| Slant MagazineBill WeberMitchum doesn’t remotely overshadow the film’s first-rate ensemble of character actors. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrThe Friends of Eddie Coyle is so beautifully acted and so well set (in and around Boston's pool halls, parking lots, side-streets, house trailers and barrooms) that it reminds me a good deal of John Huston's Fat City. It also has that film's ear for the way people talk—for sentences that begin one way and end another, or are stuffed with excess pronouns. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter AddiegoThe cast lend the film an authority that Yates' curiously pedestrian approach fails to provide, and Mitchum's agonies over codes of underworld honour segue perfectly into his subsequent explorations of loyalty and obligation in The Yakuza. |
