Rating: 5.0
Don't Pick Your Feet in Poughkeepsie!
One of the absolutely best, original, action hero(s) movies, with a chase scene(still considered one of the best in cinema history) that is only comparable, to me at least, to the chase scene at the start of the new Casino Royale movie with Daniel Craig. I own the dvd, saw the orig in theaters when first released, one of the best movies of it's genre in the business. Recommend, 2 thumbs up, action never stops.... but it's not all bang/crash/boom action, that goes too fast, like today's action films (computer generated), for eyes to follow (at least my eyes). It's not full of graphic sex, has great scenes from late 60's early 70's NY. I can't see anyone not liking this movie except those simply uninterested in cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians, good guys and bad guy type movies. A little bit of France is thrown in, on location...this is an exciting, interesting, tough flic.
