Cogan's Trade was alright.

The dialogue is a lot more frustrating and tends to drag on aimlessly sometimes. I lost a lot of the plot because of it and the main characters are basically Beavis and Butthead. It's 100 pages too long, but the dialogue is comfy.

Eddie Coyle is his best. Such a good fucking snapshot of the 70s Boston that my dad grew up in.
