The legendary Oscar-winning filmmaker William Friedkin left behind a legacy full of rule-breaking cinematic classics on the big screen. What gets often overlooked in the director’s filmography, however, is how he’s able to direct remakes of classic cinema into something timely and fresh. Friedkin’s final picture, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, was a perfect example of turning a World War II-set tale into a reflection of 21st-century warfare. Even more gripping before then was his 1997 made-for-cable adaptation of 12 Angry Men.
