I have seen this movie before, but I didn't remember it being as creatively shot as I did this time. I remembered McQueen (of course) and I remembered his car and the chase scene, but that was about it. This really is a well shot and directed movie. I kind of placed this low in that 60's cop genre spectrum. But upon this most recent viewing it really climbed the ladder.
One thing that struck me as really funny was Robert Vaughn trying to look like a tough guy. He keeps making demands, but then never getting what he wants. There is a scene at the end of the movie that I think Heat ripped off completely. Also, Jacqueline Bisset and the whole love interest angle could have been left out of the picture and the only thing I would have missed was looking at her legs!
This film will go down in the books as a great car chase movie (which it is), but I found that it is more than that. I give Bullitt ★★★1/2.
