Classic Steve McQueen movie which is famous for it's car chase through the streets of San Francisco.
Also stars Robert Vaughn, Jacqueline Bissett and Robert Duvall
Brilliant car chases and excellent shoot outs. This is in the same league as The French Connection. McQueen isn't quite the renegade cop I was expecting. Instead he is a rather cold man who has been dragged down by the things he's seen on the job. He's effing excellent though. Commanding the screen with the kind of cool you'd expect from such an icon. The rest of the cast do their best to keep up and are mostly commendable but this is a film for the action. The ending is one of the best around and is very similar to that used in Heat.
Im rating this at 2 1/2 stars cause I missed alot of it, and had to throw my wee brother's mate out the house at about 2am lol
The movie that took my Steve McQueen virginity. Was not disappointed: cars, guns, pretty girls. McQueen is hard and gorgeous.
The car-chase is fantastic, even by today's super-slick, special-effects laden standards. But overall I struggled to really get into this film; which is a shame because the acting and the script are both good and when you learn that McQueen and Yates insisted on shooting the entire film on location, giving it that gritty look; it becomes a logistical masterpiece.
