Review of Bullitt (1968) by Erick F — 11 Feb 2016

Signs you might be watching a movie made in the 1960s:

1. Sparse San Francisco traffic allows for a high-speed car chase through downtown in the middle of the day.

2. Police officers anxiously crowd around a "telecopier" waiting for it print out a low resolution photograph of a suspect at an agonizingly slow pace.

3. A criminal attempts to flee the country by purchasing a last minute ticket on an international flight at the gate.

4. The flight is operated by Pan Am.

5. The criminal has no difficulty bringing his gun on board.

6. Nobody considers locking down the airport or stopping planes from taking off after a shootout occurs on the runway.
