"The Friends of Eddie Coyle works so well because Eddie is played by Robert Mitchum, and Mitchum has perhaps never been better." - Roger Ebert
Eddie "Fingers" Coyle (Robert Mitchum) never quite makes it up the ranks in his criminal life style. No one likes a snitch and Eddie is in a dilemma as the law will get him off his pending prison sentence if he works with them. He'll still be able to provide for his wife and child and going back to prison is the last thing Eddie wants in his life. Nothing is as easy as it seems when others in his circle of criminal friends may be working with the law as well.

Goofs:
Factual errors: When the young man who sells the guns to Eddie is sitting in his Road Runner with the man who will steal the machine guns from the Armory, the military man asks if the car has a "Hemi". The young man says yes. "Hemi" refers only to the 426 cubic inch engine. The Road Runner in the movie clearly has a "383" badge on the hood scoop. This engine is not a "Hemi".
