Holy shit this was good. The prologue was unnecessary and final scene doesn’t work, but it’s near-perfect otherwise.
People talk about the car chase in The French Connection as the best ever but it’s not even Friedkin’s best.

Light Sleeper 1992
A slow-as-fuck first hour, laughable soundtrack and some pretty cringe dialogue (looking at you, “encyclopedia of suicidal fantasies”) almost totally derail this but it’s redeemed by the last 40 minutes when the plot actually kicks in.
