Great movie, but Blu-ray doesn't have all the features the DVD has, Dec 20 2011
By John S. Harris "The Voice of Reason" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: To Live & Die in La [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
TLADILA might be one of the best crime dramas of modern day. But be aware that the Blu-ray edition does not contain the Director's Commentary that is included with the DVD edition.Buy the Blu-ray if you are a fan or don't really care about commentary tracks. If you want the commentary track, either buy the DVD or get it from Netflix.
Either way, this movie is a keeper.

Q: "Why are you chasing me?" A: "Because you're running".....", April 13 2012
By A customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: To Live & Die in La [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
...Q:"Why are you running?" A: "Because you're chasing me"."To Live and Die in LA" centers around the well worn concept of the fine line between cops and robbers. A continual battle between the good guys and the bad guys, or two sets of adrenaline junkies who simply hate the monotomy of everyday life and are easily seduced by power? Beyond that cliche, most everything else in LA was grounbreaking at the time, and the movie stands up incredibly well. With a great 80s soundtrack the film itself serves as a nice retro time capsule, and features William Petersen before everyone knew him from CSI and a young Willem Dafoe before Platoon. The movie is worth seeing for their performances alone, but as you watch it you'll see that even though it was relatively unknown at the time that it must have been required viewing amongst the inside Hollywood set as it was a precursor for several later movies (most recently "Drive", which felt almost like an homage to LA in several ways). You don't need to know too much more about the plotline other than it is about a secret service agent (Petersen) avenging the death of his partner who is killed mere days before his retirement by one of the top counterfeiters in the country (Dafoe). To reveal too much more or the ending would be one of the worst spoilers a person could put into a review. Bottom line, the movie has a great plot, two strong peformances by actors before they were famous, the *best* car chase scene of all time, and two great plot twists that no one sees coming. For both police and criminals its hard to get out once you're in, and LA provides a nice balance of both style and substance as it drives that point home. Closest thing to 80's noir to ever get made, the movie has memorable supporting roles by John Turturo (unwilling informant), Dean Stockwell (criminal lawyer), and John Pankow (Petersen's new partner).

Review, Jan 8 2012
By Nino Brown - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: To Live & Die in La [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Delivery by the distributor was done in a timely fashion. The movie quality is excellent with the Blu Ray format. This is essentially the predecessor to Training Day. Highly recommend.
