The reductio ad absurdum to the "running away from cops" genre and an appropriate rejoinder to my previously-expressed dislike of same. Or something. The stunts are top-notch but my favourite gag was probably the $5 horse-and-cart.

Maybe a strange observation, but I think this one was actually rather understated. Mostly what I mean is that for me there were lots of stunts that were immediately moderately funny and interesting, but the longer you think about them in the rear-view, the more you're like, "wait, holy shit what the fuck?" Like they say, he made it look easy [or is it Chaplin they say that about? ...eh, fuck Chaplin].

Exciting and very funny comedy that stays on the move and rises to impressive level in terms of scale and spectacle. There's a surprisingly dark and cynical subtext about law running through it.

Most of the gags are at least OK, even if it does take longer than usual to really get going. The real attraction is the big chase with an entire parade full of police at the end, which makes up for the rest feeling a bit slow for Keaton.

Typical Keaton in that it's very good and still funny. Less stunts than you would normally see in one of his films but still very much a worthy short.
