more movies should show their protagonists parallel parking
annaJul 22, 2020For the longest time I thought the titular "Bullitt" was the name of the car because the only thing I knew about this film was the famous San Francisco car chase scene. I thought Bullitt was going to be a fun little action movie about an outlaw who loves his car and drives…

Peter Yates' Bullitt is about as realistic as a police procedural is going to get whilst still being engaging. Steve McQueen is fantastic, he always makes everything seem effortlessly cool! I read McQueen actually modelled his character on Zodiac hunting Detective Dave…
NakulJun 14, 2014Prefigures 70's neo-noir revival. Gorgeous cinematography, especially framing. Darkly driven Steve McQueen provides early character coordinates for Dirty Harry and Popeye Doyle. Cool jazz soundtrack to match the rhythmically chaotic atmosphere. Exciting nail-biter of a car…
ScreeningNotesJun 4, 2020this obviously rips: peter yates, steve mcqueen, the mob, a 1968 mustang fastback, jazz flute, what more could you want?? but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t at least curious about what rick dalton could’ve done with the lead role

It's very interesting reading how Steve McQueen, in preparing to play the titular Bullitt, modelled his performance on San Francisco detective Dave Toschi, because of course Toschi was heavily involved in the hunt for the infamously unresolved Zodiac Killer, and later…
A. J. BlackAug 12, 2021Best use of a turtleneck sweater in cinematic history? Best jazz score in cinematic history? Best use of the San Francisco hills in cinematic history? Best firearm related surname in cinematic history? Best car chase in cinematic history. No question.
GrahamJul 30, 2015Okay, yeah, McQueen is cool. I mean, cool. Enough so to rock that sweater into popularity, sure. (Enough so to be considerate, too.) My other thought, you know, besides the car chase being also cool, is that it's interesting how the cowboy cop thing has meandered…

👍👍 Really solid thriller that gripped me throughout. The famed car chase is indeed very good. Great writing and overall sense of realism. I enjoyed the procedural facet - following a trail of lies, piecing together the truth. Great performances, especially from McQueen.
Angie Lankford dislikedBullittWatched this with my mom because it was a film she liked when it first came out in the 60s. Holy Toledo! Boring, dull and mind-numbing. The acting is stoic and rigid; the “action” is as riveting as watching paint dry; and the music/score is nearly non-existent. It may have been a classic then, but…
Nick Dubberly is "meh" onBullittAbout all I knew about this film is the infamous car chase scene. And man did that scene live up to the hype! The plot was a bit convoluted and sometimes hard to follow. I have to admit after everything I’ve heard I was expecting more. However, it is definitely an action classic.

One of the best car films ever made. A car chase so good it rivals the chase in The French Connection. It’s light on story, it doesn’t need to be heavy on it, but the action is gripping. Over 10 minutes of no dialogue and pure action around the middle point. Excellent
SpindlyMan likedBullittEvery car chase in every movie since Bullitt wishes they were this good. It’s also this movies only saving grace. The story it’s super strong, acting is kinda mid, and the other parts are kinda boring. But again, I put this on for that car chase. Dang!
Sam Masters lovedBullittFinding classics either digitally or physically is difficult, especially in good condition, but I’m glad I found Bullitt. Truly an amazing film, especially for the time
- Jacob Hall lovedBullitt
What a freakin soundtrack! Amazing thriller that gives 2 great foot chases and an amazing car chase. My introduction to Steve McQueen couldn't have been any better
Johnson Blanchard likedBullittBenchmark for what a "vibes" movie should be. I don't have to understand the details, just let me enjoy the ride.
Goncalo Teixeira likedBullittGreat performance by McQueen. A little slow paced and a very visual movie but good nonetheless. 7.1

McQueen is great in Bullitt, and the movie is great, because director Peter Yates understands the McQueen image and works within it. He winds up with about the best action movie of recent years.
