How about 8 Stars?? Five's Not Enough
Most reviews here have just about covered the cinematic significance of this classic.In my opinion, it's Hackman's best work - and that's sayin' something, when you consider his stellar career.It's also refreshingly politically INcorrcect. It reminds me so much of my childhood in Highland Park, MI, during the Detroit Riots of 1967: Dirty neighborhoods, patroled by anal, head-knocking cops. In that sense, Hackman does an excellent portrayal.The film has been, and is in my top five, all-time.
