The Friends of Eddie Coyle
A washed-up criminal on the brink of prison betrays his crew by feeding information to the feds, caught in a deadly game of trust and betrayal where no one can be trusted.
“It’s a grubby, violent, dangerous world. But it’s the only world they know. And they’re the only friends Eddie has.”
Synopsis
An aging hood is about to go back to prison. Hoping to escape his fate, he supplies information on stolen guns to the feds, while simultaneously supplying arms to his bank robbing chums.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 39
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
