Slow and steady; trying not to fall asleep: briefly; after this very important and integral information witness gets taken out from a secret location; Lieutenant Frank Bullitt [Steve McQueen:] he is a solemn individual that has became hard to fighting crime and he is the head of this unit which was meant to be protecting this individual and now wants to find out who took this individual out. Walter Chalmers. Vaughn [Robert Vaughn:] he is an attorney that is working on this case for this organisation and this evidence giving individual is crucial to his case and I should point out he does come across as a little bit sinister. Weissberg [Robert Duvall:] he is a taxi driver for the company known as Sunshine Cabs [I should very quickly point out: his role is limited, extremely limited for any fans of his.]

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 116 minutes film well it is so slow I almost fell asleep note once but twice, it focuses on the characters and the cast of performers and that is it; as you will see there are other things to talk about but not much.

Art and action; there is a good opening sequence with the title and main characters being shown when the title gets closer to the screen to create this walking through this door or looking through a window to see what was inside; complemented with"Bullitt (Main Title)" by Lalo Schifrin and there are two in one way or another chasing sequences; to begin with they are both positives, but especially the first one the novelty wears off that is how long they are, even though the second one is shorter; you will be like "Here we go again."

Character developments and performances; they are solidly good versions of what they are meant to be, but it is the performances of this cast of be it a small or a main role that really does make these characters three-dimensional with substance and meaning and let's be honest are; they do a lot of the heavy lifting to keep this film is going.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; as I have already illustrated I found it to be a bit boring, as it never really actually scratch never gets out of first gear and even the long chasing sequences go on that long that they even become monotonous, don't you are wrong if you like any of the performers I have mentioned, by all means watch or take a look at this film. Yet this film has some awards accredited to its name; such as 7 Winners that includes Academy Awards, USA 1969 Oscars Best Film Editing Frank P. Keller. 9 Nominees from the same awards ceremony/event Best Sound Recipient: Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Studio Sound Department
