A BUSINESS ON THE LINE. A FRIENDSHIP ON THE EDGE. A WOMAN CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

In 1974 Robert Towne wrote Chinatown, the film that redefined film noir for a new generation with its peerless portrayal of corruption in pre-war Los Angeles. Fourteen years later, he returned to the genre as writer and director with Tequila Sunrise, bringing a distinctly 80s flair to this Casablanca-inspired neo-noir.

Dale McKussic (Mel Gibson) and Nick Frescia (Kurt Russell) are two close friends separated by a legal divide. While Dale is a former drug dealer trying to shake the shackles of his past, Nick is a detective investigating a Mexican kingpin smuggling cocaine. Their contrasting loyalties are brought to a head through a shared romantic interest in restaurateur JoAnn (Michelle Pfeiffer) - an attraction that unknowingly drives their friendship toward insurmountable strain.

See Kurt Russell, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Mel Gibson light up the screen at the peak of their powers, all set against the pristine warmth of the Californian sun and masterfully shot by Conrad Hall (American Beauty).

Mac McKussic may have quit the business of drug dealing. But-inside and outside the law-the business won`t quit him. In this high-gloss, high-stakes thriller Russel is Mac`s pal Nick, a cop under pressure to bring Mac down. Pfieffer is a cool restauranteur torn between feeling for Nick and Mac and Julia plays a Mexican lawman with shady intentions.

Ca fait toujours plaisir de revoir ces vieux films comme on en fait plus, à l'ère du numérique et des images de synthèse ou tout semble fake.

Guter Film, mit einer grossen Lovestory in der Mitte, aber nicht übertrieben langweilig, die das Drama wird von Action und Thrilling umramt.
Man wechselt immer die Seite von Gut zu Böse.
Super gut.
