This one's a great popcorn crime/mobster flick. It's a very to-the-point film, with little in the way of back story or individual character backgrounds. Instead, it focuses on the raw essentials of a good, fast-moving crime flick: tough cops, shifty mobsters, and one mighty fine car chase. 7.25/10.

One of the greatest car chases, ever.
I remember seeing a featurette about the filming of the chase scene(s).

Some of my favorite scenes depict the appearance and mood of NYC in the early 1970s.
For all I know, it’s that way again now.

Thanks. Sounds like a good one. Somehow I’ve never seen it before.

Great Movie!!!
Made me a fan of Scheider.... That and Blue Thunder..
To: DemforBush
I remember watching this as a teenager.
Great flick.
Loved the music too by Don Ellis. The chaotic modern music was a perfect fit for this chaotic flick.
To: DemforBush
Roy Scheider was a very good but under appreciated actor

One of the best cop films ever. Has all the right baddies too...especially Richard Lynch who was one of the greatest character actors ever.
