Bullitt - (Yates;1968;USA) - ***1/2
After the witness he was protecting is killed, Frank Bullitt tries to find those responsible, while being bothered by a politician who only cares about his public image.
Although I still enjoyed it just as much in the second viewing, paying more attention to the plot it seemed to be less impressive. The bulk of the film's greatness comes from McQueen, the car chase, and a nice direction to support it. The plot was only good. Still this is a must-see for the good qualities it does have, including the San Francisco cinematography. A great classic crime film I'm glad to have recommended to me, with a more noticeably classic car chase that William Friedkin probably had inspiration from.
