It?s a classic, it?s one of the best buddy/cop movies ever, the formula has often been copied but has never been bettered. Arkin and Caan are brilliant together. Release it on DVD damn it!!
Terrific 70's crime/action/comedy. Has a little more teeth than what gets produced today.
Lots of car chases and car wrecks, there is plenty of action in this film, but it goes on way too long and the story wears very thin after awhile. The stars work well together, and Valerie Harper has a good bit as Alan Arkin's latin wife.
Although a not well known movie it is without a doubt extremely funny and one of james caans best.I recomend it to everyone there`s no way you won`t like it.

Love this film!!! The predecessor to the Lethal Weapon films. Caan and Arkin are just as cool and funny as Riggs and Murtaugh. A must see if you love buddy cop films!
One of the funniest car chase scenes ever. James Caan and Alan Arkin are great together here. A buddy comedy before Lethal Weapon.
Long before cop buddy movies were popular there was these two crazy and zany cops who do everything wrong trying to get their man. The film has plenty of action and adventure, including running a car off a bridge and into an apartment building, while still being a good comedy movie.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Freebie and the Bean" !
