Bullitt (1968)
8/10
Dirty Harry Inspiration
20 February 2009
This is one of the first rogue cop movies. It has inspired such classics as Dirty Harry, Death Wish, and many others like them starring Hollywood tough guys.

This thriller is one that you don't hear about as often, which I'm not sure why. It has all the elements of a good cop movie, and is pretty highly rated here on IMDb.

The plot is a little confusing and repetitive, but they worked well with what they had.

Steve McQueen delivered as Lt. Frank Bullitt, the tired cop protagonist here. Magnificent Seven co-star Robert Vaughn was also quite good as Chalmers, who seemed to always be in the way.

Over all, a good start on rogue cop films.

8/10.
