Rating: - More than just a car chase
The car chase in Bullitt may seem a bit less impressive than it once did because filmmakers have been trying to top it for the best part of four decades. More of a cat-and-mouse game than a demolition derby, its overshadowed by the film's other action setpieces - a murder in a safe house, a tense chase in a hospital and a great airport finale that Michael Mann ripped off wholesale in Heat. A beautifully constructed star vehicle for Steve McQueen at his best, it's pretty much the prototype for every ... Read More

Rating: - Yep, a classic car chase - shame about the plot, script, pace, etc, etc...
I love the car chase.

Not simply for the stunts, but at least as much for the way the music blends perfectly, upping the suspense as the biters start to realise that they themselves are about to get bit. In fact, the initial, slow stages as the hitters keep tabs on Bullitt (what a stupid name!), are every bit as watchable (to me) as the later high speed tyre-burning stuff. Flobba-dobbing V8 motors sound nearly as good idling under light throttle openings in the traffic, as they do when ... Read More

Rating: - A great piece of McQueen cinema
Like many, I watched Bullitt after years of hearing the hype about its car chase, I decided to buy the film to see if it lives up to its legacy.

I believe it does, but there is more to this film than the car chase. It oozes style as McQueen goes about investing the murder of the witness, and the serious injury his colleague sustains in the assassination. As Bullitt digs deeper into the case, he becomes involved with the murky world of a publicity & success hungry senator who seems keen to ... Read More

Rating: - Cool!
Amazingly, I'd never seen this film before, though I've enjoyed listening to the soundtrack for many years.

I'd heard all sorts of stories about the film: "no story", "just a car chase" and "looks good, but no substance", but I was more than pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed it. I must admit the car chase was shorter than I'd hoped it would be, but overall the film was great from start to finish.

It looked superb and I can see where George Clooney's "Ocean" films got the ... Read More

Rating: - excellent QUALITY. short on QUANTITY
the picture for Bullitt has been excellent even since its last release on VHS, either due to previous careful restoration work or because of good quality equipment/storage. add todays 'hi-tech' restoration processes and you end up with a fantastic clear and colourful picture on this DVD release

the high sound quality has also been maintained, with the car chase in particular remaining as engaging as ever

my only gripe is that there isnt enough on this 2 disc special edition. why release ... Read More
