5 stars (Exceptional) Intense, brilliantly made thriller with incredible set-pieces and an outstanding performance from Gene Hackman. ~Wizzums
5 stars (Exceptional) Pretty gripping for 1971! ~Sandy
3 stars (Good Enough) It's intense and gritty, but we've done better. Am I meant to root for Popeye Doyle? Because he's a wretch. Am I meant to be following this story? Because it's barely there. Is this even technically an ending? I loved the sound, pace, and chase, thoug ~Pop&Coffee
