Review of Bullitt (1968) by Gamzguy17 — 21 Aug 2021

Outside of one impressive and gripping car chase, ‘Bullitt' is a gross case of riding on the star power of McQueen, who sadly cannot carry this picture, a picture which doesn't bother to invest in its characters.

Instead, the film would much rather stare at an airplane landing and a photocopier printing someone's profile. Those are just a couple of padding scenes that take up much of the running time. The film takes the crime out of crime-drama and becomes a total slog to sit through both before and after the chase scene, which by the way, doesn't come in until past the halfway mark.

Be warned as this one hasn't aged too well.
