Bullitt

Bullitts coolness kickstarted an awesome sub-genre and made man crushes socially acceptable. The film has some pacing problems, but thats all forgotten when those cars gears up.

Disappointing, given Steve McQueen's legendary reputation. An average police thriller that was awkward in spots and generally was not very engaging. However, the film is elevated by its famous car chase sequence, which is absolutely terrific and completely justifies seeking out this movie.

this movie put hair on my chest

Iconic cop movie featuring one of the most intense car chases ever captured on film.

This movie is a test. If you think it "holds up" then you haven't seen it in 40 years or you are pushing 70 and can't see it clearly any more. If you have seen it recently then you will see that it is a sloppy and inept career padder. Steve McQueen does nothing just like, well, everything else here. And its most famous scene is sloppy and cheaply done. Continuty errors: fender dent..no dent. Cheap effects: fast motion to speed up action. Repeated background etc. Belongs on MST3000. Manos

Excellent chase finale would make this film worthwhile by itself but it has more to recommend it... not the least being McQueen's aggressive performance as a tough, modern-day police detective. Well directed by Yates.
