In 1980, the director of The Exorcist and the star of The Godfather teamed up for a nightmarish crime thriller about an undercover detective after a serial killer, which sounds like a home run. William Friedkin and Al Pacino were at the very height of their success and doing something that was squarely in their wheelhouse. Despite this, the movie ended up being one of the most controversial films of the decade, and its troubled production resulted in a messy blend of story and theme that still confounds many critics and viewers to this day.
