Just released from jail, Eddie Coyle picks back up his illegal trafficking and contacts the police to become an informer. As he starts working as an informant for the FBI agent Dave Foley, he is quickly caught in vice between the police force and the mob.
In 1970, George V. Higgins, former prosecutor and then writer, publishes his first novel applauded by Ross Mac Donald and Norman Mailer. In 1973, Peter Yates (Bullitt, Murphy's War) adapts the book to the screen and plunges us in an icy and melancholic Boston, as paranoid as can be. Facing Peter Boyle, Robert Mitchum found then one of his best parts for which he went to meet real local Godfathers to polish his character.
