Bullitt - 1968

[theoscarsproject]

Bullitt (1968). An all guts, no glory San Francisco cop becomes determined to find the underworld kingpin that killed the witness in his protection.

This is a solid little thriller, well-paced and compelling, and really putting Steve McQueen front and centre which, in this sort of movie, is never a bad thing. He’s a commanding performer, particularly as a dead-set cop trying to set things right. It’s a little dated now though, and lags in a few scenes, but on the whole, it’s a good movie. 7/10.
