Our film editor picks a handful of gems shot in Los Angeles that define the crime film, including classics by Michael Mann, Sofia Coppola and Quentin Tarantino.
Los Angeles’ reputation as a bank-robbing wonderland may be receding — a good thing — but it leaves behind some all-time, on-screen highs. If you watch all five of these films, you’ll understand what makes for a perfect action-thriller, equal parts tense talk and exhilarating release. What you end up doing with that knowledge, we hereby indemnify ourselves of, formally.
Cruising through the night, the unnamed getaway driver awaits his next gig, even as the distractions of a vulnerable neighbor in need and a chatty, menacing mobster grow too big to ignore. Filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn’s nail-biter owes some of its tough-minded minimalism to Walter Hill’s 1978 “The Driver,” though when your style is this confident, the result transcends all predecessors.
