Load of rubbish!!

Good start, but then it gets ruined

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

You must be either a car enthusiast, or be willing to ignore the numerous errors in this movie, in order to fully enjoy it. The acting itself is quite ordinary, nothing great there. Music is okay, but nothing great. The rambling and unrealistic screenplay is a little confusing and some plot twists are unexplained. The over-rated car chase scene is too long and at times boring. It's not only unrealistic, but badly edited. A far better car chase scene can be found in the original French Connection movie. To think that this film won any awards for anything is ridiculous. There are numerous continuity mistakes throughout the film.

McQueen had it all - Cool and Edgy. Something about the movie is just old school intriguing - I watch it at least once a year.

This is an enjoyable film but there are holes in the plot a mile wide. If you are bringing a top gangster to trial (on a witness plea) why would you only assign one policeman to protect this man from the mafia? (one policeman changing shifts every so hours.) In a crappy hotel. The idea that the witness has let the security chain off is laughable. Do you know how long it takes to kick through a security chain? (about one second). If this witness was so important to a prosecution, surely he would have been placed in police custody? Even with police corruption, surely something secure could have been set up? A safe house, with a team of men? I used to love this film but now I find it very flimsy. It's better a social record of a time before mobile phones and mass surveillance.

Congratulations, it's a boy! And so we have "Bullitt," the grumpy film from 1968 that gave birth to the anti-hero and ushered in an era of scowling detectives and the women who sit around dutifully waiting for them to come home.Actually, anti-heroes existed well before "Bullitt," but Steve McQueen did manage to turn the anti-hero into a household commodity, and everything from "The French Connection" (which was produced by the same man who produced "Bullitt" by the way) to the "Dirty Harry" movies owes a debt of gratitude to this movie.The funniest thing about "Bullitt" is that Steve McQueen actually isn't even a very good detective. He's constantly one-upped and outsmarted by the men he's supposed to be keeping an eye on. But he looks awfully good being a bad cop, except for those moments when he parades around in god-awful pajamas. He's a helluva driver though, as the film's most famous set piece, an endlessly parodied car chase through the streets of San Francisco, makes plain.The film also stars Jacqueline Bissett as a nominal love interest, though good luck distinguishing her from the wall paper for all the film gives her to do."Bullitt" won the 1968 Oscar for film editing (see "car chase" above), and nabbed another nomination for its sound.Grade: B
