Review of The Seven-Ups (1973) by Naomi G — 13 Oct 2015
An underlooked at film that is one of the best movies produced in the '70's. Roy Scheider is a member of an elite police task force in New York City, whose anti mob objective becomes complicated by now needing to protect the mob bosses from some officers in Scheider's own department.. A more popular movie is the earlier The French Connection, but The Seven-Ups is unhindered by Hackman's lack of acting ability and the earlier movie's intensely boring and nonsensical plot.
The gritty realism of urban crime in The Seven-Ups is unparalleled. And it contains the best car chase Hollywood has ever made, much better than the boring Bullit chase or Hackman's attempts in The French Connection. That is if you like a realistic car chase and not one that seems more suited for Star Wars.
