Review of Freebie and the Bean (1974) by Tuomas S — 01 Jul 2011
The Birth of the 80s Buddy Cop flick happened in 1974 with the release of the bizarre, freakshow clash between James Caan's Freebie and Alan Arkin's The Bean. Beating out confessions and shooting lowlifes in the back punctuates the comedy, and you've got at least two of cinema's finest weirdo car chases.
Politically incorrect in the nicest way possible, Freebie and The Bean should be cherished by all cop genre fans; the film wanders all over the place but still manages to deliver a rollicking climax. VF.
