I hate it when movies are known for their car chases. This film and "Bullitt" suffer from this despite being good films on their own.Gene Hackman is really, really good. It's so odd watching him run as much as he does. He's so stoic and against running the past 25 years so when he's actually undertaking some sort of physical feat, it's odd.
Roy Scheider's pretty good, too. He has a real Andy Garcia vibe from "The Untouchables." Or maybe Garcia has a real Roy Scheider vibe. I guess that's how that works.
It's extremely disappointing they never found the main French guy. How does that happen? Could that ever happen nowadays. The 1970s really needed some Homeland Security.
