Goofs

In the diner, Scheider gets angry and knocks his notebook off the counter, hitting it hard enough to make it land on the floor. However, in the wider shot that follows, the notebook is sitting on the stool right by him, spinning around (which makes for a nice shot but would have been impossible). See more »

Crime in the 70's
21 January 2003 | by (Pacific Palisades, CA) – See all my reviews

This is not a great movie, but it evokes a time and a place, and a style that goes along with it. A gritty 70's police drama, it takes place in a New York winter of gray skies, bare trees, wet gutters, litter and graffiti, when the crooks had no cell phones, cars smelled of vinyl and exhaust fumes, and the computer was the noisy thing that printed the suspect's rap sheet on a roll of yellow paper. The acting, it must be admitted, is routine, but Roy Scheider and the rest portray an undercover squad of calm professionals to whom danger has become routine. The story manages to be interesting, punctuated by one exciting Popeye Doyle style car chase through the Sunday streets (judging by the light traffic) and up the Taconic State Parkway, and two nerve-wracking scenes in the belly of an automatic car wash. But for all the occasional bursts of violence, it's also a quiet story of a friendship that can't withstand the temptations of crime.
