A great film and a standard for the genre. It's almost perfectly directed AND perfectly cast. I cannot imagine anyone else in the Steve McQueen role, except maybe the great Belmondo. I can think of only two American films, "The French Connection" and maybe "The Seven Ups" which are as well done and exciting.

Most of todays cop/action/chase movies owe a great debt to Peter Yates and Steve McQueen. 40 years later, their effort has yet to be topped.

Saw "Seven Ups," recently: doesn't belong with the other two. nt - tinear 16:16:46 12/11/08 (0)
